Learning to identify horizontal and vertical asymptotes of a function

The video tutorial explains how to find vertical and horizontal asymptotes of a function. It begins by discussing the identification of vertical asymptotes, emphasizing the importance of checking for discontinuities and ensuring the function cannot be simplified further. The process involves setting the denominator equal to zero and solving for x. The tutorial then shifts to horizontal asymptotes, explaining the need to compare the degrees of the numerator and denominator. If the degrees are the same, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the leading coefficients. The video concludes with a calculation example, demonstrating the steps to find both types of asymptotes.

Explain how to find the horizontal asymptote when the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same.

What is the horizontal asymptote for the given function, and how is it derived?
