Question

Identify the oblique asymptote of f(x) = x^2-4x+8/x+2

Answer 1

y = 0

y = x – 2

y = x – 6

No Oblique Asymptote

Answer 2

divide...

Answer 3

if the numerator degree is exactly 1 greater than that of the denominator, you do have an oblique asymptote

as pgpilot326 said, divide them both, the quotient, is the equation of the oblique asymptote

Answer 4

long division

Answer 5

so is it c?

Answer 6

because x-6?

Answer 7

what happens to the 20/(x+2) term as x gets really big? Really small?

Answer 8

idk.. i gues if it gets bugger it would get bigger too?

Answer 9

it gets bigger on the bottom which means the thing gets smaller

Answer 11
