Question

vertical and horizontal asymptote for x+1/x-4

Answer 1

vertical is the restrictions on x
horizontal in this instance since the degrees of numerator and denominator are the same we know that they are the lead coefficients as a fraction

Answer 2

so horizontal is just 1/1?

Answer 3

correct. do you see the restrictions on x?

Answer 4

-1 and 4 correct?

Answer 5

why -1? if the numerator is 0 it is still defined. just not the denominator

Answer 6

oh okay. thats where i was having trouble. i appreciate it

Answer 7

just remember to set the denominator to 0 because its undefined where
\[\frac{ x }{ 0 }\]
then it will pop out at you any time you see a fraction in any problem
