Question

What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus x minus 2, all over x plus 1?  @-SpencerBraz-

             x + 1

maurticewilliams · Answer

the only thing about that problem that confuses me is the weird looking a thing other wise the  uh i think u have to substitute the f  for a number and times it by x

tootzrll · Answer

okay, in the chat it looked easier but i think i know what to do

maurticewilliams · Answer

u can substitute f for any number

fortytherapper · Answer

You can find it with synthetic division

maurticewilliams · Answer

synthetic division never heard of it

tootzrll · Answer

ummm... i got lost.... sorry

fortytherapper · Answer

Alright, so let's take a simple division.... 100/10

So you would take the 10 and put it on the outside, Then you would make the "Doghouse" symbol and put the 100 under that
Does that make sense?

maurticewilliams · Answer

so that A looking thing is a doghouse symbol

maurticewilliams · Answer

yeah  now it does
