What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus x minus 2, all over x plus 1?
1 answer:
The oblique asymptote is y = x
This is a slant asymptote
You can find this by performing polynomial long division. See the attached image for how to do the division. The quotient is the single "x" up at the very top. The remainder is -2 at the very bottom. The oblique asymptote is equal to the quotient.
