f(x)=x^2-x-2/2x^2-x-21 Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
1. A rational function where the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator has a horizontal asymptote at where is the lead coefficient of the numerator polynomial and is the lead coefficient of the denominator polynomial.
2. A rational function has a vertical asymptote at every vertical line where is a zero of the denominator polynomial. Set the denominator polynomial equal to zero and solve for all real roots.
