Which value or values that are excluded from the DOMAIN?

x=______

If the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree, of the denominator is 3, the horizontal asymptote will be:

• Does Not Exist

• where y is the ratio of the leading coefficients

• y = 0 (or the x-axis)

Find the horizontal asymptote.

• y = -2
• none
• y = 0
• y = 1/2

• x = 2

• x = -2

• There are no holes.

• x = 5

A hole occurs when....

• You wear pants that are too tight.
• A factor from the numerator cancels with a factor in the denominator.
• The degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator.
• The denominator cannot be factored.
