Find the asymptotes of the function
Answer to Problem 6PT
Vertical asymptote: x = 0 and Horizontal Asymptote y = 3
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Find the asymptotes of the function
Concept Used:
To find the vertical asymptote(s) of a rational function, simply set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x. We must set the denominator equal to 0 and solve.
The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero.
Horizontal Asymptotes CAN be crossed. 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
Calculation:
Vertical asymptote: x = 0 and Horizontal Asymptote y = 3
The graph of the function:
Thus, Vertical asymptote: x = 0 and Horizontal Asymptote y = 3
