Question

Where is the horizontal asymptote of Y =(4x+24)/(x-7)?

Answer 1

Given the next rational function:

`y=(4x+24)/(x-7)`

Given that the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator (1), then the horizontal asymptote is calculated as follows:

`y=(a)/(b)`

where a is the leading coefficient of the numerator and b is the leading coefficient of the denominator.
