document.write( "Question 965956: I was trying to graph f(x) = (x-4)/((x^2)-4) and I stumbled across a problem. Based on the notes I took, the horizontal asymptote would be y=0, since the the degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator. Yet when I plug in x=0, I get y=0 as an answer. Is there no horizontal asymptote for this equation? Why does y=0 if it's not supposed to? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Arithmetic mistake in your finding y=0. Otherwise, your asymptote judgement is good.\r
