Consider the rational function

n

b

x

m

where

n

is the degree of the numerator and

m

is the degree of the denominator.

1. If

n

<

m

, then the x-axis,

y

=

0

, is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If

n

=

m

, then the horizontal asymptote is the line

y

=

a

b

.

3. If

n

>

m

, then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).

Find

n

Since

n

=

, the horizontal asymptote is the line

y

=

a

b

where

a

and

b

There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.
