all asymptotes

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

Vertical asymptotes occur when you divide by zero. Example: x^7/(x-2), a vertical asymptote would occur at x=2. Horizontal occurs when you divide one or more variables by one, or more variables. Example:15x^3+1/3x-5 Oblique occurs when you divide one variable by another which its power is EXACTLY one less than the numerator. Example: (x^3)/(x^2+5).

can u help me find all asymptotes of y=(x^3+4)/x^2

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

Sure thing. What x-value would make that function divisible by 0? Hint, just set the denominator equal to 0; x^2=0...solve. Find the oblique asymptote by long polynomial division. ****Since there is an oblique asymptote, there is no horizontal asymptote.

oh makes sense and how wod i do long polynomial division? forgive me im abit rusty
