OpenStudy (tester97):

Factor then solve for x?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

HMMMMMMMM. Good question.

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I think it's when you have the denominator=0 What do you know? I barely remember anything about this. Imma look it up

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

horizontal asymptotes represent the behavior at very large values of x (both positive and negative)

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

at large values of \(x\) the first fraction becomes \[\frac{ 3}{4}\]because the \(x^2\) term is dwarfed by the \(x^3\) terms

OpenStudy (tester97):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

I don't believe it is necessary to factor first, though it may simplify seeing the behavior.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

If factoring and canceling changed the value of the fraction, we couldn't do it
