For some rational function,f(x) the graph of  y=f(x) has an oblique asymptote of y = 5x+7. Enter the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the graph of:

Thanks Guys!

Since  f(x)  has an oblique asympotote of  y  =  5x + 7,  it must have a coefficient of its highest degree term to be a multiple of 5 of the coefficient of the highest degree term of its denominator.

 

To have a horizontal asymptote, y must have the same highest degree in the numerator as in the denominator. 

The coefficient of the highest degree term of the numerator of y will remain 5 times the coefficient of the highest degree term of the denominator.

 

Thererfore, the equaton of the horizontal asymptote will be;  y  =  5.
