Find the horizontal asymptote of f(x)= x^2+3x-2/x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I appreciate any help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You sure that is 3x - 2 in numerator and not 3x + 2 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it's in the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As you can see, degree of numerator is greater than degree of denominator, you will get Slant Asymptote...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the Long Division Method??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to just divide numerator by denominator.. As you do simple division and then find out the quotient..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so divide x^2+3x-2 by x-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be the same as using synthetic division?
