\[y=\frac{{x}^{2}+8}{-x-3}\]Available Methods Graph Intercepts Asymptotes Domain Range 1 Since the equation has in the denominator, there is a vertical asymptote at . 1 Find the highest-degree terms in the numerator and the denominator. 2 Since the numerator has a higher degree than the denominator, there are no horizontal asymptotes. None 1 From above, since the numerator is one degree higher than the denominator, there is a slant asymptote. Find it using polynomial long division. 2 Polynomial Division: Divide by . 3 Rewrite the expression using the above. 4 Take the quotient part only, which is . Therefore, the slant asymptote is: Done ![]() |
