Find all horizontal and vertical asymptotes if any If an ans
Find all horizontal and vertical asymptotes (if any). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) s(x) = (2x - 1)(x + 9)/(5x - 1)(x - 8) vertical asymptote x = (smaller value) vertical asymptote x = (larger value) horizontal asymptote y =
Solution
vertical asymptotes
denominator =0
(5x-1)(x-8)=0
5x-1=0 , x-8 =0
5x =1 ,x=8
x=1/5 ,x=8
smaller value x =1/5
larger value x =8
horizontal asymptote :
y =limx->infinity [(2x-1)(x+9)]/[(5x-1)(x-8)]
y =limx->infinity [x2(2 -1/x)(1 +9/x)]/[x2(5 -1/x)(1 -8/x)]
y =limx->infinity [(2 -1/x)(1 +9/x)]/[(5 -1/x)(1 -8/x)]
y=[(2 -0)(1 +0)]/[(5 -0)(1 -0)]
y =2/5
horizontal asymptote y =2/5
