if you have asymptotes plus or minus 17/18.55 do you leave them like that for your final answer since it is plus or minus a/b or should I simplify it to plus or minus 0.92?? Would it be incorrect if I left it in fraction form?

17/18.55 is not a fraction.  Fractions cannot have decimal in them.

0.92 is an approximation so I do not think it is as good as the fraction answer.

 

\(\pm\frac{17}{18.55} =\pm\frac{ 1700 }{ 1855 } =\pm \frac{340}{371}   \)

 

I think that the best answer is   \(\pm \frac{340}{371} \)
