Answer: NONE

Explanation:

Consider that m is the degree of the numerator and n is the degree of the denominator.

The rules for horizontal asymptote (H.A.) are as follows:

If m > n then no H.A. (use long division to find the slant asymptote)

If m = n then H.A. is y = leading coefficient of numerator/leading coefficient of denominator

If m < n then H.A. is y = 0

Given: g(x) = 5x⁵/(x³ - 2x + 1)

--> m = 5, n = 3

Since m > n then there is no H.A.
