Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider the function 

Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 1

 

Step 2

Oblique asymptote:

An oblique is an asymptote along a line Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 1.

Oblique asymptote of a rational function exist when the degree of the denominator  is one less than the degree of the numerator.

 

(a)

Clearly f(x) is a rational function in which the degree of denominator is one less than the degree of numerator.

Hence f(x) has an oblique asymptote.
