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

OpenStudy (imstuck):

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 ?
