Question

Given the functions a(x) = 4x2 + 2x - 3 and b(x) = x - 1, identify the oblique asymptote of the function a of x over the function b of x?

Answer 1

so you have

\[f(x) = \frac{4x^2 +2x -1}{x -1}\]

the oblique asymptote is found by doing a little division



do the long division, and the quotient will be the oblique asymptote
