So we're dealing with this?
\[\Large f(x) = \frac{x+9}{x^2+2x+3}\]

Answer 3

did this help at all?

Answer 4

sort of, what i got from the diagram is that my problem IS a horizontal asymptote, is that right?

Answer 5

which case will apply here? 1? 2? 3?

Answer 6

and that I'm not sure of..

Answer 7

is n < m true?
is n = m true?
is n > m true?

Answer 8

its either x, 0, or 9

Answer 9

m>n

Answer 10

think of \(\Large x+9\) as \(\Large x^1+9\)

Answer 11

yes or n < m

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

since n < m, this means that the x axis is the horizontal asymptote

that's another way of saying "the equation y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote"

Answer 14

oh, so thats it y=0 is the horizontal asymptote? That makes a lot of sense!

Answer 15

y = 0 lies perfectly on top of the x axis

Answer 16

so its right? and can i have help with one more??

Answer 17

sure
