Math question

Answer 1

if the highest degree of the denominator is one less than the numerator then u will be able to find slant asy.
divide by using long or synthetic division
which one is easy for u? long division or synthetic

Answer 2

Long division, I guess. Can you walk me through the steps?

Answer 3

if you like to participate then why not ?
btw synthetic division is easier than long

Answer 4

for long division
5 steps)
\(\huge\color{green}{{1:}}\) Divide the first terms
\(\huge\color{green}{{2:}}\) multiply(distribute)
\(\huge\color{green}{{3:}}\) subtract all terms
\(\huge\color{green}{{4:}}\) carry down
\(\huge\color{green}{{5:}}\) repeat

Answer 5

Ok so how do we use synthetic division to find the equation for the slant asymptote?

Answer 6

for synthetic division
set the divisor equal to 0 \[\rm x-1=0\] |
then solve for x
x= ??

Answer 7

x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1

Answer 8

1st) carry down the leading coefficient
2nd) multiply it by x value which is one in this question
3rd) write your answer above the line and and then combine 3+2
4th) repeat the step
