f%28x%29=+%28x%5E3-2x%5E2%2B3x-1%29%2F%28x%2B2%29

--------------(x%5E2-4x%2B11
%28x%2B2%29|x%5E3-2x%5E2%2B3x-1
-------------x%5E3%2B2x%5E2
-------------0-4x%5E2
---------------4x%5E2%2B3x
---------------4x%5E2-8x
----------------0%2B11x
------------------11x-1
------------------%2B11x%2B22
-------------------0-23
---------------------23
f%28x%29=+x%5E2-4x%2B11-23%2F%28x%2B2%29
since we got x%5E2-4x%2B11, means there is parabolic asymptote
