Question

Given the expression, , choose the correct horizontal asymptote. y=x^2-8x+3/x^2+3x+1 None y = 0 y = 1 y = -2

Answer 1

y = 1

Explanation:

Given function is:

`(x^2+8x+3)/(x^2+3x+1)`

In order to find the horizontal asymptote, the coefficients of highest degree variable of numerator and denominator are divided.

In our case,

both the numerator and denominator have 1 as he co-efficient of x^2

So the horizontal asymptote is y = 1/1

Hence, third option y=1 s correct ..
