Question 220012
do any of the factors of the roots and asymptotes of problem F(x)= x^2-4x-5 over x^2+2x+1 have an exponent of two or mulitiple of two? what does this tell you?
------------------------
F(s) = [x-5)(x+1)]/[(x+1)^2]
--------------------------------------
x+1 has a exponent of 2
So the asymptote at x=-1 is +/-
