Answer 1

yes?

Answer 2

sorry it didnt go through

Answer 3

what is the horizontal asymptote of this whole thing?

Answer 4

go back to your last post if you aren't sure

Answer 5

3 for numerator

Answer 6

6 for the bottom

Answer 7

where are you getting those numbers?

Answer 8

i just added the degrees

Answer 9

you don't add the degrees

Answer 10

ohh is it just the highest on each?

Answer 11

go back to your last post and read the rules on asymptotes I posted

Answer 12

i read it... you said degree of the numberator and denominator

Answer 13

ok what about them?

Answer 14

what is the degree

Answer 15

you tell me, what is the degree of the numerator? the denominator?

Answer 16

im saying thats what you said!!

Answer 17

numerator is 2 denom. is 3

Answer 18

so what rule will you use?

Answer 19

does not have a horizontal asymptote

Answer 20

why not?

Answer 21

numerator is less than denominator

Answer 22

I said on that post

"since (degree of numerator) > (degree of denominator) this means that you will NOT have a horizontal asymptote"

Answer 23

oh

Answer 24

I also added


"the only time you have a horizontal asymptote is when


a) degree of numerator = degree of denominator

OR

b) degree of numerator < degree of denominator"

Answer 25

when case b) occurs, the horizontal asymptote is always y = 0 since y tends to approach zero as x --> +- infinity

Answer 26

you can look at examples like 1/x

1/2 = 0.5
1/20 = 0.05
1/200 = 0.005
1/2000 = 0.0005
1/20000 = 0.00005

and so on

Answer 27

okk

Answer 28

wait what does this have to do with evaluating it..

Answer 29

@Loser66

Answer 30

@ganeshie8

Answer 31

notice in my example how 1/x ---> 0 as x --> infinity

Answer 32

same idea with your expression

Answer 33

ohh so it is just infinity?

Answer 34

ohhh i understand

Answer 35

would it be nfinity? @ganeshie8

Answer 36

degree of denominator is greater so the denominator grows faster

Answer 37

so infinity?

Answer 38

the effect would be something like this :

1/2 = 0.5
1/20 = 0.05
1/200 = 0.005
1/2000 = 0.0005
1/20000 = 0.00005

Answer 39

think a bit,
if the denominator of a fraction is increasing, how can the value become infinity ?

Answer 40

if you have 10 chocolates and you want to distribute them to 10 friends,

how maqny chocolates each of them would get ?
