Question

Find the horizontal asymptote

Answer 1

I think I will try to use the tool u said.

Answer 2

\[f(x) = \frac{ 8x -7 }{ 4x + 3 }\]

Answer 3

thats what on my paper

Answer 4

Okay, so to find the horizontal asymptote, you simply divide the coefficients of the terms with highest degree. In this case the terms with the highest degree are \(8x\) and \(4x\).

\(\dfrac{8x}{4x} = ?\)

Answer 5

2?

Answer 6

Correct.

Answer 7

that was a bit easier than I thought

Answer 8

do they need to be the same degree?

Answer 9

You just simply circle the coefficient terms with the highest degree in both the numerator and denominator and then divide them. That is it.

Answer 10

So actually, we would only divide the 8 and 4.

Answer 11

okay wow thats pretty simple

Answer 12

But if the degree of the numerator is higher than the degree of the denominator, then there will not be a horizontal asymptote.

Answer 13

like x^2/x ?

Answer 14

Exactly

Answer 15

I think I got this one then. will skip to some other ones I don't know.
