@ranga can you help with this one as well?
Do you know synthetic division?
somewhat..im really rusty..its been a while
(x^2 + x - 20) / (x - 6) Do synthetic division: 6 | 1 +1 - 20 | 6 42 |_________________ 1 7 22 (x^2 + x - 20) / (x - 6) = x + 7 + 22/(x-6) f(x) = x + 7 + 22/(x-6) When x gets ver large, 22/(x-6) will go to zero and the graph will approach y = x + 7. Therefore, y = x+7 is the oblique asymptote.
is that the slant asymptote?
Yes, slant (or oblique) asymptote is y = x + 7.
oh ok lol I got really confused for a min!
can you determine the symmetry of the graph?
To graph it you can use a graphing calculator or an online graphing website such as: https://www.desmos.com/calculator It will look something like the following graph: |dw:1395192734253:dw|
