How do you find the vertical and horizontal asymptote?

@Nnesha :P

Nnesha (nnesha):

for \(\color{green}{\rm Vertical~ asy.}\) set the denominator equal to zero and then solve for the variable. for\(\color{green}{\rm Horizontal ~asy.}\) focus on highest degrees ~if the highest degree of the numerator is greater than the denominator then `No horizontal asy.` \[\color{reD}{\rm N}>\color{blue}{\rm D}\] example \[\large\rm \frac{ 7x^\color{ReD}{3} +1}{ 4x^\color{blue}{2}+3 }\] ~if the highest degree of the denominator is greater than the highest degree of the numerator then `y=0` would be horizontal asy. \[\rm \color{reD}{N}<\color{blue}{\rm D}\] example:\[\large\rm \frac{ 7x^\color{red}{2}+1 }{ 4x^\color{blue}{3}+3 }\] ~if both degrees are the same then divide the leading coefficient of the numerator by the leading coefficient of the denominator \[\rm \color{red}{N}=\color{blue}{D}\] \[\large\rm \frac{ 8x^\color{reD}{3}+1 }{ 4x^\color{blue}{3}+3 }\] \[\rm \frac{ 8x^3 }{ 4x^3 } =2\] horizontal asy. =2

"copy paste" but good :/

I was lazy to google the question :P

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

and I knew Nnesha knew so I asked the question :D

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Thanks Nnesha (:

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes copy paste from my notebook.

Nnesha (nnesha):

that question is in my *frequently asked questions* list so better to save notes n notebook instead retyping them again and again \o^_^p/\,,/(^.^)\,,/

is this another post for free medals? xD

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I didn't get any medals...
