Question

find the asymptotes of y=(4x+2)/(x+2)

Answer 1

vertical asymptote at x = -2

Answer 2

line pareel to y-axis

Answer 3

parellel*

Answer 4

if x=-2, the y should be 4, according the the m.c. answers given. the other y when x=-2 is -1/2 and i know that's incorrect. anyway someone could explain it a bit more?

Answer 5

vertical asympote at x = -2, horizontal at y = 4

Answer 6

easy to check for horizontal asymptote. the degree of the numerator in this example is equal degree of the denominator to horizontal asymptote is y = ratio of leading coefficients, in this case 4/1

Answer 7

if degree of numerator is larger no horizontal asympote. if degree of denominator is larger then horizontal asmptote is y = 0

Answer 8

i don't know if you need any further explanation, but those are the simple rules

Answer 9

thanks! im in the process of teaching myself calc, so all of this prelim stuff is coming back when people start explaining it.

Answer 10

teaching yourself calc? have fun!

Answer 11

hahah not voluntarily. i need an A or B in calc to transfer to a different university

Answer 12

good luck
