Question

Can someone help me with this please? Given the functions a(x) = 4x2 - x + 2 and b(x) = x + 1, identify the oblique asymptote of the function a of x over the function b of x?

Answer 1

Divide a(x)/b(x) to find the oblique asymptote.

The quotient (excluding the remainder) will be the oblique asymptote

Answer 2

So you would divide 4x^2-x+2 by x+1?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

well just a little division works



the oblique asymptote is the quotient.... and ignore the remainder
