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?

choices are
y = 4x + 6

y = 4x - 2

y = 0

No oblique asymptote

Not sure what this means, sorry.

johnkim2330 · Answer

what is the oblique asymptote of (4x2 + 2x - 3)/(x-1)  does this help? @iPwnBunnies

Still not sure, sorry. If I can easily factor the numerator, I can have a chance, but I'm still not sure.
