Question

asymptotes

Answer 1

Use a calc!

Answer 2

r(x) has asymptotes

Answer 3

look at each individually

Answer 4

t(x) can't be slant retricemptote because the degree at numerator is for 2 more then the denominator, and it can be only 1 more

Answer 5

you'd get horizontal asymptotes when the numerator's degree is either LESS THAN OR EQUALS to the the denominator's

Answer 6

*asymptote

Answer 7

r(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0

Answer 8

slant or oblique asysmptotes occur when the numerator's degree is greater than the denominator's by exactly 1

Answer 9

So r(x) is horizontal?

Answer 10

jdoe and campbell confused me.

Answer 11

heheh

Answer 12

yep... thats my best guess.... I just use simple polynomial division to find them

Answer 13

is the denominator's degree in r(x) greater or equals to that of the denominator's?

Answer 14

in r of x the numerators degree is less than. Whoops, sorry man my bad. See what you mean.

Answer 15

I would post up the formula for HA/VA/SA but it looks like most of the previous answerers are already doing that...
BUT. I can see you're confused so...

---
Horizontal Asymptote Rules:
degree p < degree q HA = 0
degree p = degree q HA = [LC]p/[LC]q
degree p > degree q no HA

Slant asymptotes only occur when degree p > degree q by exactly 1.

Vertical asymptotes are basically what the domain cannot be (x cannot equal a, therefore the asymptote must be a).

Answer 16

Does that help?

Answer 17

it's so... it has a horizontal asymptote, what campbell_st said was, yes it does and it's at y= 0

Answer 18

Thanks kittiwitt1!

Yes, I had actually forgot those.

Answer 19

Now the next part.

Answer 20

Haha no problem! I am here to help the confused ^_^
I actually just learned this in Pre-Calc (my Algebra 2 teacher forgot to go over it, apparently)
No offense, I'm not forcing or anything but can you give me a medal? (:

Answer 21

Thanks @jdoe0001

Answer 22

Thanks~ (:

Answer 23

Thanks @campbell_st

Answer 24

I hate long division. How about using synthetic? xD

Answer 25

Can't you use a calc?

Answer 26

But sure, sounds fine.

Answer 27

I still mess up xD

Answer 28

Hold on a sec.. that question doesn't have enough background. Can you clarify?
As in, what is t (I do know what end behavior is, we just went over it lol)?

Answer 29

I found it by graphing. :) Thanks tho

Answer 30

-_- I hate you. At least let me answer! (lol jk) :p

Answer 31

:)

Answer 32

Well, just message/tag me if you need more help, kay~ (;
I'll be off in that corner struggling on my Physics homework LOL (actually it's pretty easy)

Answer 33

Physics!! Yay! Took it last year in HS.

Answer 34

.-. And you don't understand this? #wat

Answer 35

It was a intro to physics. Not AP.

Answer 36

I'm taking normal physics c;
My friend is taking AP. Teacher says nobody has an A in that class...

Answer 37

@kittiwitti1
Can you check this? I have to submit online, I think the site is just crazy.

Answer 38

@AmTran_Bus Is this a graded test ? Because we're not allowed to help you on that :(
Sorry.

Answer 39

No, not a test at all. Just a review.

Answer 40

Tests require a lockdown browser :)

Answer 41

@kittiwitti1

Answer 42

Alright, I will ask one of the best tutors on this site to help :p
Hold on

Answer 43

He says a review quiz isn't okay either.
Does this count as a quiz?

Answer 44

It is graded, but no. Just a chapter review.

Answer 45

nvm, its alright.

Answer 46

You sure? I'll tag him just in case.
@hartnn

Answer 47

no problem if you're actually learning :)

Answer 48

Ok, so the K goes outside of the whole thing. Got it.
