To find: equations of vertical and horizontal asymptotes, if any, of the given function.
Answer to Problem 17E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
Put the denominator equal to 0 and evaluate x as follows:
The vertical asymptote is
Look at the degree of numerator and denominator to find the horizontal asymptotes as follows:
Case | Horizontal Asymptote |
No horizontal asymptote |
Since the degree of numerator and denominator in the given function is 1 and 2 respectively. Thus, the horizontal asymptote is
