Question

PLEASE HELP! State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function.

f(x) = quantity seven x squared minus three x minus nine divided by quantity two x squared minus four x plus five


`(7x^2 - 3x - 9)/(2x^2 - 4x +5)`

Answer 1

y =
`(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

When the degree of the numerator = degree of denominator

then the equation of the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the coefficients of the x² terms , that is

y =
`(7)/(2)`
