Question

What is the equation of the oblique asymptote? h(x)=x^2-x-2/x+1

A. y=x^2+1
B. y=x
C. y=x+1
D. y=x-2

Answer 1

long division, right?

Answer 2

have you did as jim said before?
divide?
the quotient is your oblique asymptote

Answer 3

factor

Answer 4

Yeah, factor....forget long division

Answer 5

that works too

Answer 6

\[x^2-x-2=(x-2)(x+1)\]

Answer 7

and then wat part of that is the oblique asymptote?

Answer 8

the part that doesnt cancel out with the bottom

Answer 9

thank you!!
