Identify the asympatote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=1/x+1-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kreshnik Im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...@daja2fly I'm sorry too! but I'm not going to help you !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know it better ! bye .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mindy1234 do u no or not

OpenStudy (callisto):

when 1/(x+1) = undefined, then x=? is the vertical asymptote, if i remember it correctly...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (callisto):

0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats your question

OpenStudy (callisto):

i didn't ask anything...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i figure this out

OpenStudy (callisto):

when 1/(x+1) = undefined, x+1 =0 , solve x and you'll get the vertical asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 callisto

OpenStudy (callisto):

x=-1 it should be..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large y=\frac{1}{x+1}-2=\frac{-2x-1}{x+1}\] Horizontal asymtote... \[\LARGE y=\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{-2x-1}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\cfrac{-2x}{x}-\cfrac{1}{x}}{\cfrac{x}{x}+\cfrac1x}\] \[\LARGE =\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{-2-0}{1+0}=-2\] \[\LARGE \boxed{y=-2}\] Vertical Asymptote... \[\LARGE x=-1\] Not vertical , not horizontal, something in the middle asymptote (I don't know how to say it...not american...but I guess you know what I mean.) \[\LARGE y=kx+b\] \[\Large k=\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{f(x)}{x}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\cfrac{\cfrac{-2x-1}{x+1}}{x}\] \[\Large \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{-2x-1}{x^2+x}=0\] So \[\LARGE k=0\] and there's no asymtote like this When I was about to finish it... google crashed and I was about to brake my PC.. (here I wrote it again. hope you understand it HOW TO DO !) . @daja2fly
