The horizontal asymptotes of the rational function
Answer to Problem 6E
The horizontal asymptotes of the rational function
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given rational function is,
Formula used: Formula for horizontal asymptote of a rational function with same degree of numerator or denominator is given below,
Calculation:
The horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line where the graph is approaches towards that line but not equal to the line at any point.
The given rational function is,
The leading coefficient of numerator is 1 and leading coefficient of denominator is 1.
From equation (1) the horizontal asymptote is given below,
Thus, the horizontal asymptotes of the rational function
