Q:

State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function.f(x) = quantity x squared plus six x minus eight divided by quantity x minus eight

Accepted Solution

A:
f(x)=(xΒ²+6x-8)/(x-8) has a vertical asymptote at x=8. When x is large f(x) approaches x which is a 45 degree line (gradient 1). There is no horizontal asymptote.
