Question

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.

Answer 1

divide

Answer 2

you get a quotient and a remainder
ignore the remainder, the quotient is the "oblique asymptote"

Answer 3

just use polynomial division or synthetic division



the quotient id the oblique asymptote and ignore the remainder
