Question

Consider the function f(x) = (x^2 - 9)/(x-4). Determine all asymptotes of this function including horizontal, vertical, and oblique (slant).
i know vertical is x=4, and i know there is no horizontal but how do i find oblique in this case? is oblique asymptote x+4?

Answer 1

To find the slant asymptote, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator

So you're right, the slant asymptote is x+4!
