ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

degrees of numerator and denominator are the key here

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the given rational expression, whats the degree of numerator ? whats the degree of denominator ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it. the horizontal asymptote is y=0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct ! the denominator is high so it pulls down the value of function as x increases. so the function approaches 0 as x increases

thank you for your help! :D @ganeshie8
