Determine the horizontal asymptote for the rational function.

A rational function is graphed in the first quadrant, and in the second and fourth quadrant is another piece of the graph. The graph approaches an imaginary horizontal line at y equals 1 and approaches an imaginary vertical line at x equals 5.

y = 5
y = −5
y = 1
y = −1

36 is the final answer! : )

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.
