When the degree of the numerator of a rational function equals the degree of the denominator, then there will be a horzontal asymptote.  To find the horizontal asymptote, divide the leading coefficient of the numerator by the leading coefficient of the denominator.  In this case it is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=8%2F4=2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=8%2F4=2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.\r<BR>\n" );
