Understanding Asymptotes in Functions

The document explains how to determine horizontal, vertical, and oblique asymptotes of rational functions. It outlines the methods for finding vertical asymptotes by solving the denominator, horizontal asymptotes by comparing the degrees of the numerator and denominator, and oblique asymptotes when the numerator's degree is one higher than the denominator's. Examples are provided to illustrate the processes for each type of asymptote.

OBLIQUE ASYMPTOTES

Oblique asymptotes occurs when the


numerator of f(x) has a degree that is one
higher than the degree of denominator. If you
have this situation, simply divide the
numerator by the denominator by either
using long division or synthetic division. The
oblique asymptotes is the quotient with the
remainder ignored and set equal
