Question

Can you solve this math problem?

Answer 1

What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) = \[\frac{ x^2+5x+6 }{ x+4 }\]

Answer 2

@phi y = x + 9 right?

Answer 3

hmm nope

Answer 4

the slant asymptote will be
the quotient of the division of the numerator by the denominator

hint: factor the numerator

Answer 5

Oh then it has to be y = x - 9 right? It's got to be 9

Answer 6

if you factor the numerator, what 2 binomials does it give you?

Answer 7

(x+1) and (x-1)

Answer 8

hmmm actaullly... shoot... mistread the denominator...
lemme do the long division anyway

Answer 9

but it'd be the quotient of their division

Answer 10

So am I right? It's y = x - 9 ? Can you please check for me?

Answer 11

well... doing the long division...is not x-9

Answer 12

no it's x+1

Answer 13

right.. x+1 then the slant asymptote is y = x+1

Answer 14

Thanks for clarifying that for me. :)
