determine the equatio ofhe oblique asymptote x^2-3x-4 / x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i frze up glad youre back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The numerator is 1 degree higher than denominator, so there is an obique asymptote. The oblique asymptote will be the quotient you get when you do the long division (or synthetic division)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your math t make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what math?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My long division? That's because you subtract in long division, whereas you add in synthetic division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

draw it out again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's better to do long division when finding oblique asymptotes because more often than not, you're dealing with a degree of more than 2 in the numerator

pls
