Just need a small boost on the problem below. I've got the asymptotes y = 0 and x = 3, but I'm having trouble with the slant asymptote part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the asymptote be y = -x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Horizontal asymptote is just y=0

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yes - you are right. see here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=asymptotes+y%3Dx^3%2F%289-x^2%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what the horizontal and vertical asymptotes are. I'm asking if y = -x is the slant asymptote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah the slant one, yes that's y=-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. Then would the final answer be 9/2?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yes

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

that is what I get as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright. Thank you :)
