@Vocaloid @jim_thompson5910

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start by putting (x-5) in the denominator

OpenStudy (cookiimonster627):

okay

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

then for the horizontal asymptote, make the exponents on x the same in the numerator and denominator, and make the leading coefficient in the numerator 1 and the leading coefficient in the denominator 2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

it'll end up being something like y = x^2/[(x-5)(2x)]

OpenStudy (cookiimonster627):

okay thats what I got

OpenStudy (cookiimonster627):

is that the final answer? @Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sure
