Math Problem Statement
Find the horizontal asymptotes
Find the horizontal asymptotes.
Solution
To identify the horizontal asymptotes from the graph, we examine the behavior of the function as and .
Looking at the graph:
- As (far left), the curve approaches the x-axis but doesn't seem to cross it, suggesting a horizontal asymptote at .
- As (far right), the curve also appears to flatten out towards the x-axis, suggesting another horizontal asymptote at .
Thus, the horizontal asymptote is:

- How can you find horizontal asymptotes algebraically for rational functions?
- What is the behavior of this graph near its local maximums and minimums?
- Are there any points of inflection visible on the graph?
- How does the degree of a polynomial affect its horizontal asymptote?
Tip: Horizontal asymptotes describe the behavior of a function as goes to infinity or negative infinity, and they may or may not intersect the graph!
