to find the vertical asymptote, look for the value of x that makes the denominator equal to 0.
\n" ); document.write( "since there is no value of x that will make the denominator equal to 0, you don't have a vertical asymptote.
\n" ); document.write( "the trick to finding the horizontal asymptote is to divide both numerator and denominator by the value of x that has the highest exponent.
\n" ); document.write( "in your problem, that would be x^2.
\n" ); document.write( "your equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 / 4x^2 divided by (x^2 + 1) / x^2 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 / x^2 divided by x^2 / x^2 + 1 / x^2
\n" ); document.write( "simplify this expression to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4 / 1 divided by 1 + 1 / x^2
\n" ); document.write( "as x approaches infinity, 1 / x^2 approaches 0, so the expression becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "4 / 1 divided by 1 which is equal to 4.
\n" ); document.write( "your horizontal asymptote is equal to 4.
\n" ); document.write( "summary:
\n" ); document.write( "you do not have a vertical asymptote.
\n" ); document.write( "your horizontal asymptote is equal to 4.
