Question

Identify the horizontal asymptotes, if they exist, for the following function…

Answer 1

You have the following function:

`f(x)=(5x^4-2x)/(x^4+32)`

Take into account that if the expression for the numerator has the same degree that the expression at the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is given by the quotient between the leading coefficient of each polynomial.

In this case, leading coeffcicient of numerator is 5 and from the denominator we get a leading coeeficient equal to 1.

Then, the horizontal asymptote is:

y = 5/1 = 5
