Find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes, if any, for the following rational function. R(x)= 17x/ x+19
Find the oblique asymptotes. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.
The vertical asymptote is x = -19.
There is no horizontal asymptote as the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator.
The oblique asymptote can be found by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
(17x) / (x+19) = 17 + (323 / (x+19))
Therefore, the oblique asymptote is y = 17.
