Question

Identify the horizontal asymptote of f(x) =x2+5x-3/4x-1

Answer 1

since the numerator is x² + 5x - 3, and therefore has a degree of 2, whilst the denominator, 4x¹ - 1, has a degree of 1, therefore, there's no horizontal asymptote.

recall, we only get a horizontal asymptote if the denominator's expression degree is equals or greater than that of the numerator's.
