For the function f(x) = (x+1)/(2x+5): State the domain of the following rational function by using interval notation.

• The domain is all real numbers except x = -5/2, so (-∞, -5/2) ∪ (-5/2, ∞).

• The domain is all real numbers except x = 0, so (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞).

• The domain is all real numbers except x = 2, so (-∞, 2) ∪ (2, ∞).

• The domain is all real numbers except x = -1, so (-∞, -1) ∪ (-1, ∞).

For the function f(x) = (x+1)/(2x+5): Find the horizontal or slant asymptote.

• The horizontal asymptote is y = 1/2.

• The horizontal asymptote is y = 2.
