Question

Find the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the function: g(x)=(5x^2 -4)/(x+1)

Answer 1

i would find the answer to this the same way that i would when i was looking fo the vertical asymptote?

Answer 2

never mind it would be the same, i think i would need to look at the top, the horizontal asymptote would x=4

Answer 3

no no

Answer 4

vertical just as before, at x = -1
horizontal is a whole different story

Answer 5

the degree of you numerator is 2, denominator has degree 1. numerator is bigger, so no horizontal asymptote

Answer 6

think of numbers. if you have a large numerator relative to the denominator, you get a large number. so ratio does not approach some number, it gets bigger and bigger

Answer 7

i so dont get this

Answer 8

i would rather go back and do the interval notations, that i was starting to get a hang of.
