can some on epls tell me if for this x=-5?
thanks: The graph of the function f(x)=(2x^2+2x-4)/(x^2-x-12) has a horizontal asymptote. If the graph crosses this asymptote, then give the x-coordinate of the intersection. Otherwise, state that the graph does not cross the asymptote.

though, I did not find out if my answer was correct

anonymous · Answer

pls let me know if it is - thanks!

anonymous · Answer

ok vertical asymptote at -3 and 4, horizontal at y = 2

and it does cross.  set function = 2 and solve

anonymous · Answer

that what I did ; i landed up with it equalling -5
