For the problem where you are to add a function to the function f(x)  =  (3x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + 3) / (x2 + x - 2)

to end with a function that has a horizontal asymptote at zero

 

A function that has a horizontal asymptote at zero is one where the numerator has a degree smaller than the degree of the denominator.

 

So, add this function:  g(x)  =  (-3x4 - 3x3 - 3x2) / (x2 + x - 2)

This will canell the x-terms in the numerator that are at least as large as the largest degree-term of the denominator of the first function, so that the denominator now has a degree larger than that of the numerator.

 

After cancelling the terms that are necessary to cancel, you can also include other terms, like a constant or an x-term.

Thanks Geno  laugh

But when you answer a repost like this can you please do it on the original question.

You can make a second post here to say that you have done that.

When you do reposts can you please just instruct people to answer on the original question thread.  Thanks :)
