Question

How do you find the vertical, horizontal or slant asymptotes for `(x+2) / (2x^2)`?

Answer 1

Horizontal: `y=0`
Vertical: `x=0`

Explanation:

Since the degree of the polynomial in the denominator is greater than the degree of the polynomial in the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is `y=0`.

The denominator is equal to `0` when `x=0` and there is no factor in the numerator to cancel that out, so `x=0` is the vertical asymptote of the given function.
