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. y = 4x + 6 y = 4x - 2 y = 0 No oblique asymptote
@IMStuck please help?
A slant (oblique) asymptote occurs when the polynomial in the numerator is a higher degree than the polynomial in the denominator. To find the slant asymptote you must divide the numerator by the denominator using either long division or synthetic division.
so wait what do i do ?
do you know how to do synthetic division?
uhhh sort of
Do you know long division of polynomials better, or no? Cuz synthetic is way easier, but not if you don't know it. Which are you more comfy with?
what do i divide?
For long division it will look like this:|dw:1404709378686:dw|
