Check my answer?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Find the horizontal or oblique asymptote of f(x) = \[\frac{ -2x^2+3x-4 }{ x+1 }\]

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I think it's y = 2x + 3

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Horizontal asymptotes are found when you set the numerator = 0

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

So it would actually be y = -1 ?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ohh, Hmm.. Taking a second look at ti, I was wrong. Notice how the degree in the numerator is larger than the degree in the denominator? This is where you may have an Oblique asymptote, and to find it you need to d a little long division.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Oh ok so what do you get as the answer?
