Back
A horizontal asymptote is a line y = b that a function approaches as x approaches infinity or negative infinity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine horizontal asymptotes for rational functions?
Back
1. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote. 2. If the degrees are equal, y = leading coefficient of numerator / leading coefficient of denominator. 3. If the degree of the numerator is greater, there is no horizontal asymptote.
