Answer 1

You have a second degree polynomial in the numerator, and a first degree in the denominator. There are rules you need to know and memorize when it comes to horizontal asymptotes and the degrees of the polynomials involved, ok? They are as follows:

Answer 2

If the numerators' degree is less than the denominator's, the x axis is the hor.asymp.
If the numerator's degree = the denominator's degree, the hor asymp is the line y = a/b (comes from the leading coefficients of the numerator [a] and the denominator [b])
If the numerator's degree is greater than the denominator's degree, there is no hor asymptote. What do you think you have here?

Answer 3

you have a second degree polyomial in the numerator and a first degree in the denomintor. What about the horizontal asymptote?

Answer 4

there is none?

Answer 5

You're correct! Good! Remember those rules always and they will save you a ton of headaches!

Answer 6

wow thank you! do you think you could help with two more questions?

Answer 7

I can try...I can't make any guarantees, but I would love to try! ; )

Answer 8

okay do you want me to open it into another question ?
