Find all vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of
Find all vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of the given function. g(x) = 5x^2/x^2 - 3x-4
Solution
given g(x)=5x2/(x2-3x-4)
horizontal asymptote
y =limx->5x2/(x2-3x-4)
y =limx->5x2/(x2(1-(3/x)-(4/x2)))
y =limx->5/(1-(3/x)-(4/x2))
y =5/(1-(0)-(0))
y=5/1
y=5
horizontal asymptote is y =5
for vertical asymptote :
g(x)=5x2/(x2-3x-4)
g(x)=5x2/((x-4)(x+1))
denominator =0
(x-4)(x+1)=0
=>x=-1, x=4
vertical asymptotes are x =-1,x =4
