asymptotes help

[tkhunny]

I thought that if the numerator = the degree of the denominator, the HA is = to the ratio of the leading coefficients
and
If the degree of the denominator > degree of the numerator, y=0 is the HA?

Glad you're back.

1) Why did you quote and then fail to comment on the quoted material? Very odd.
2) Degree of Numerator = Degree of Numerator, a horizontal asymptote is y = a/b, where a and b are the leading coefficients of numerator and denominator respectively. Youseem to have this, but could still work on your presentation.
3) "HA" is just not a standard abbreviation. You seem to have this. Good.
4) What if Degree of Numerator = 1 + Degree of Denominator
5) What if Degree of Numerator = 2 + Degree of Denominator

Cheers! This forum is a major help and you will find me here for days on end now. I am a contributor!

Running though it, I was neglectful.

2) Degree of Numerator = Degree of Numerator, a horizontal asymptote is y = a/b, where a and b are the leading coefficients of numerator and denominator respectively. Youseem to have this, but could still work on your presentation.
I do computer stuff a lot and acronym a lot unfortunately. Once again, my mistake.

3) "HA" is just not a standard abbreviation. You seem to have this. Good.
See above

4) What if Degree of Numerator = 1 + Degree of Denominator
equal to or great means Vertical asymptote (or it is likely but still needs test)

5) What if Degree of Numerator = 2 + Degree of Denominator
Same as above.

Fair enough - 3 times.

On the last two - no good. 4 and 5 have nothing to do with vertical asymptotes.

4) Oblique
5) Higher order (parabolic and higher)
