There is no horizontal asym.
Only a vertical one

Answer 5

And a slant one

Answer 6

Why does the answer key say x+2? is it wrong?

Answer 7

It is correct, but that is not considered a horizontal asym. Rather that is a slant one.

Answer 9

Find.. what.. the asym?
Which one?

Slant asymptotes

Answer 11

You would use synthetic or long division then basically ignore the fractional portion of the answer.

Answer 12

You could always double check on your graphing calculator if you happen to have one.

Answer 13

Can you show me how you arrived at x+2?

Answer 14

Long division or synthetic?
Synthetic is easier if you know how to do it.
