Question

How do you find the vertical, horizontal and slant asymptotes of: `y=(x^2-64)/(x-8)`?

Answer 1

function has no asymptotes.

Explanation:

First step here is to factorise and simplify the function.

`rArry=(cancel((x-8)) (x+8))/cancel((x-8))=x+8`

The function simplifies to y = x + 8, which is the equation of a line and hence has no asymptotes.
