anonymous · Answer

5/2 is horizontal retricem

anonymous · Answer

beacause as x approaches infinity  5x^2/2x^2 are only term that matters

anonymous · Answer

horizontal asymptote is 
$$y=\frac{5}{2}$$ from your eyeballs. degree of numerator and denominator are both 2 (they are equal) so take ratio of leading coefficients.  takes a second to do this in your head, not computation needed

anonymous · Answer

what imran said

anonymous · Answer

asymtote, not  retriceym

anonymous · Answer

vertical yes. damn
vertical is a different story. set the denominator = 0 and solve, that will give you the answer

anonymous · Answer

what a kick in the retricemptote

anonymous · Answer

haha, thanks for your help!

factor top and bottom, cancel out like "terms", and whats left over is the verts

anonymous · Answer

Oh ok that makes sense, thanks.
