Identify the oblique asymptote of f(x) = quantity 2 x squared plus 3 x plus 8 over quantity x plus 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{2x^2+3x+8}{x+3}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand the oblique asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we'll frist u have to factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a polynomial of degree 2 divided by a polynomial of degree 1 when you divide you will get a polynomial of degree 1 ( a line) and a remainder ignore the remainder, the line is your "oblique asymptote"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it has nothing at all to do with factoring the polynomial in the numerator may not factor at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o

so how do you do it again?
