divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will get a quotient and a remainder ignore the remainder, the quotient is the slant asymptote

Thanks

yw

and how about F(x)= 5x^3 -8x^2/x^4-16

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

for the vertical asymptotes set \(x^2-16=0\) and solve for \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep i got that

OpenStudy (misty1212):

for the slant asymptote do what @satellite73 said divide

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you got a polynomial of degree 3 divided by a polynomial of degree 2, when you divide you get a polynomial of degree 1 ( a line) and a remainder the line is the slant asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
