The horizontal asymptote is found by dividing the leading terms, so the asymptote is given by:

y = (numerator's leading coefficient) / (denominator's leading coefficient)

So here the leding term in the numerator is 8 and that in the denominator is 4.

So substituing in the above formula we get:

==> y = 2

We can observe this when wee graph it.

Here in the graph we observe that the two lines (in the graph) makes the horizontal asymptote at y = 2...

Thus the solution
