Question

What is the oblique asymptote of gx) = x2-3x-5?

O y = x + 5
O y = x – 5
O y = 5x
O y = -5x

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Did it rn

Answer 2

B)
`y=x-5`

Explanation:

Because
`g(x)=(x^2-3x-5)/(x+2)` simplifies to
`x-5+(5)/(x+2)`, we only care about the quotient, which will be our oblique asymptote equation. Therefore, the oblique asymptote for the function will be
`y=x-5`. See the attached graph for a visual.
