Calculate the horizontial and vertical asymptotes of the following:
y=3x^2-5/2x^2-4
To find horizontal asymptotes:
If the degree (the largest exponent) of the denominator is bigger than the degree of the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis (y = 0).
If the degree of the numerator is bigger than the denominator, there is no horizontal asymptote.
If the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same, the horizontal asymptote equals the leading coefficient (the coefficient of the largest exponent) of the numerator divided by the leading coefficient of the denominator.
How to find Vertical Asymptotes:-
Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes of the denominator of a rational function.
