Slant (oblique) asymptotes Complete the following steps for the given functions.
- a. Use polynomial long division to find the slant asymptote of f.
- b. Find the vertical asymptotes of f.
- c. Graph f and all its asymptotes with a graphing utility. Then sketch a graph of the function by hand, correcting any errors appearing in the computer-generated graph.

- (a) Rewrite f(x)=2x2+8x7 in f(x)=a(xh)2+k form and (b) graph the function using properties.arrow_forwardDetermine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. The graph of a rational function will never cross a horizontal asymptote.arrow_forwardFor the fallowing exercises, find the x- and y-intercepts of the graphs of each function. 14. f(x)=2x+113arrow_forward
- A business has a cost function of C=0.4x+8000, where C is measured in dollars and x is the number of units produced. The average cost per unit is given by C=Cx=0.4x+8000x,x0. a. Find the average costs per unit when x=1000,x=8000,x=20,000,andx=100,000. b. What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph of this function, and what does it represent?arrow_forwardFind the horizontal asymptotes, if any, of each rational function. Do not graph the function. f(x)=2x1xarrow_forward
