3x^3-17x^2+5x/x^5-2x
The first term in the numerator divided by the first term in the denominator is 3/x^2. As x increases without bound, the value is 0. The horizontal asymptote is 0. While it appears that it approaches only from the negative side when x is positive, it does cross the x-axis on the right before gradually approaching 0.
-----------------------------
5x^2-2x-5/8x^2+x+4
The ratio of the first term in both the numerator and the denominator is 5/8. When x gets large, only the term with the highest power matters.
