Given:


F(x)=(x^(2)-11x-12)/(x+6)

To find:

The horizontal asymptote or slant asymptote.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the polynomial we get,


F(x)=x-17+(90)/(x+6)

If x approaches infinity, then the above rational term becomes zero.

So, we will get


y=x-17

As we know,

An oblique (or slant) asymptote is a slant line that the function approaches as x approaches plus or minus infinity.

Therefore, the oblique asymptote is,


y=x-17

Final answer:

The oblique asymptote is,


y=x-17
