Question 1000634: Please help me solve the following. I can't quite get how to find the horizontal. Please show work so I can understand.
Consider the rational function f given below.
f(x) = x/(x^2 + 2x - 15)
Find the horizontal asymptote, if it exists.
y =?
Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = x/(x^2 + 2x - 15)

The numerator has a smaller degree than the denominator, so 
the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis or y = 0.
