Can i cut and paste it here in this box?

anonymous · Answer

a) Provide a written explanation describing a step by step process to find the horizontal asymptotes of a rational function.

anonymous · Answer

Hi Stephanie are you there

anonymous · Answer

1. Find the derivative of the function
2. Set it equal to 0 in order to find the critical points
3. Solve for the variable (Many times you will have to factor or use the quadratic formula to get all the critical points)
4. Test the critical points you get by plugging them back into the original function
    The asymptote will be the critical point that gives you an answer that cannot be solved (like 2/0 or sqrt(-10), and so forth

If anything doesn't make sense or isn't clear let me know

anonymous · Answer

Sorry it took so long

anonymous · Answer

No that is cool thanks I have one more you willing?

anonymous · Answer

Sure :)

anonymous · Answer

Provide a written explanation describing a step by step process to find the vertical asymptotes of a rational function.

anonymous · Answer

Did you get this one to Stephanie?

anonymous · Answer

Stephanie you still on?

anonymous · Answer

Hmm... I have to think of the difference between horizontal and vertical asymptotes...

anonymous · Answer

I don't know if I can get this one. Do you think anyone else will know?

anonymous · Answer

I will see thanks for the help in the other one.

anonymous · Answer

No worries
