Please help me with this problem:
What is the equation for the asymptote for:
R(x)=x^3+1/x^2+1
------------
Vertical asymptote: None because the denominator is never zero.
--------------
Horizontal asymptote: 1x^3/0x^3 is undefined; so no horizontal asymptote
---------------
Slant asymptote:
R(x)/(x^2+1) = (x-1) + 2/(x^2+1)
Slant asymptote is y = x-1
