Determine the horizontal asymptotes

The video tutorial reviews rational functions, focusing on finding vertical and horizontal asymptotes. It explains the importance of polynomial degrees and how they determine the horizontal asymptote. The tutorial covers three scenarios: when the degree of the numerator is less than, equal to, or greater than the degree of the denominator. It also discusses the behavior of graphs in relation to horizontal asymptotes, emphasizing that the graph approaches the asymptote as it moves towards infinity.
