Give the equations of any horizontal asymptotes.
-$$g ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 5 } { x - 5 }$$
A) none
B) $y = - 5$
C) $y = 0$
D) $y = 8$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Horizontal asymptotes are found by comparing the degrees of the polynomial in the numerator and the denominator. Here, the degree of the numerator (2) is greater than the degree of the denominator (1), which means there are no horizontal asymptotes.

Give the Equations of Any Horizontal Asymptotes g(x)=x2+8x−5x−5g ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } + 8 x - 5 } { x - 5 }g(x)=x−5x2+8x−5​
