Question

Find vertical and horizontal asymptotes

Answer 1

Vertical where ever denominator is zero.

Answer 2

what about horizontal?

Answer 3

You have to compare the x on top and x on bottom. Some how, remove brackets or square root to compare.

Answer 4

i don;t get it?

Answer 5

Try to conjugate. Multiply by \[\sqrt{\frac{ 4+x }{ 4+x }}\]That would remove square root signs

Answer 6

y= -1?

Answer 7

Right, you're pretty good.

Answer 8

Well, y is not equal to -1. When you compare the coefficient of top x and bottom x, you get -1.

Answer 9

yes?

Answer 10

Yes, what?

Answer 11

why it doesnt equal to -1?

Answer 12

Well, may be it does. But that is not relevant to trying to find the horizontal asymptote. What does your notes say about finding HA?

Answer 13

you mean there is no horizontal asymtotes?>

Answer 14

?

Answer 15

You might need to brush up on finding horizontal asymptotes. It's really easy, read this attached half-page document.

Answer 16

yeah ` horizontal asymtotes is y=-1

Answer 17

am I right?>

Answer 18

Just follow instructions, what does the doc say?

Answer 19

if n/d is bigger than 1, then there is no horizontal asymptote

Answer 20

there is no horzontal asymtotes

Answer 21

It is \[\frac{ -x }{ x }\]or\[\frac{ -x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} }{ x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} }\]
