Can someone help me this problem please? State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function. f(x) = quantity x plus nine divided by quantity x squared plus two x plus three. a) y=x b) none c) y=0 d) y=9

i could help

OpenStudy (unicwaan):

I understand that the function has a horizontal asymptote but im not sure to find the number of the asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't really tell what your equation is, but here are the rules. |dw:1433814042372:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Specifically, the numerator must be one higher than the denominator to have an oblique asymptote. If the numerator is of a degree more than 1 higher than the denomiator, then there is no oblique or horizontal asymptote.

OpenStudy (unicwaan):

Oh that makes sense okay, thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But as mentioned, you have a denominator of higher degree, so your horizontal asymptote will be y=0
