Graphing Techniques - Asymptotes and Discontinuities

Graphing Techniques - Asymptotes and Discontinuities

By carrying out long division to simplify the rational function (if applicable), find the equation(s) of the horizontal asymptote(s) or oblique asymptote(s) for the following curves:

  1. \(y = \frac{1}{3 - x}\)
  2. \(y = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 2}\)
  3. \(y = \frac{x^2}{x - 1}\)
  4. \(y = \frac{x^2 + 2x - 3}{x + 2}\)
