<PRE><B>Question 62456</B>
Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of Y=(5x^2-8x+1)/(2x^2-5x-12)
-------------------
Factor where you can to get:
y=[5x^2-8x+1]/[(x-4)(2x+3)]
------------------
Vertical asymptotes where the denominator is zero at x=4 and x=-3/2
Horizontal asymtote at y=5/2 because coefficients of highest common
power in numerator and denominator are 5 and 2.
