Question 158112: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM:
WHAT IS THE EQUATION OF THE SLANT ASYMPTOTE FOR
1. R(x) = x - 1
2. R(x) = 1
3. R(x) = x + 17
4. There is no slant asymptote

A rational function has a slant asymptote ONLY when the
degree of the numerator is 1 more than the degree of the
denominator.  In this rational function,

,

the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the
denominator is also 2, so there is no slant asymptote.
