Use polynomial long division to divide the denominator into the numerator. Set 
equal to the quotient (discarding any remainder) to obtain the equation of the oblique asymptote.
You can use your own graphing calculator to do part b). The range is the set of values that the function assumes for all possible values of the independent variable in the domain.
