Question

Will the function \[\frac{ (x+1)(x-2) }{ (x-3) }\], have the slant asymptote???

Answer 1

Yeah, at \(y = x + 2\)

Answer 2

(x+1)(x-2)=x^2-x-2

Answer 3

thought so.

Answer 4

Now, divide x^2-x-2 by x-3

Answer 5

thanks for all responses

Answer 6

Remember: the quotient is always our slant asymptote.

Answer 7

Sorry... it'd actually be at y = x + 6

Answer 8

the reason I asked is because my texts solution only shows an asymptote at x=3

Answer 9

Ok:)

Answer 10

so my text is wrong?
