Step1: Recall horizontal - asymptote rules
For a rational function $f(x)=\frac{a_nx^n+\cdots+a_0}{b_mx^m+\cdots + b_0}$, where $a_n
eq0$ and $b_m
eq0$:
- If $n < m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y = 0$.
- If $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y=\frac{a_n}{b_m}$.
- If $n>m$, there is no horizontal asymptote.
1. For $f(x)=\frac{3x^2 - 1}{2x^2+5x + 7}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
The degree of the numerator $n = 2$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$.
Step2: Find the horizontal - asymptote
Since $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y=\frac{3}{2}$.
2. For $g(x)=\frac{x^3+2x^2+x + 4}{5x^2+7x + 8}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
The degree of the numerator $n = 3$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$. Since $n>m$, there is no horizontal asymptote.
3. For $h(x)=\frac{5x^3-2x^2 - 1}{x^4-6}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
The degree of the numerator $n = 3$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 4$. Since $n The degree of the numerator $n = 3$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$. Since $n>m$, there is no horizontal asymptote. The degree of the numerator $n = 2$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$. Since $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y = 10$. The degree of the numerator $n = 4$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 3$. Since $n>m$, there is no horizontal asymptote. The degree of the numerator $n = 2$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$. Since $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y=\frac{9}{2}$. The degree of the numerator $n = 2$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$. Since $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y=-1$. The degree of the numerator $n = 5$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 3$. Since $n>m$, there is no horizontal asymptote. The degree of the numerator $n = 3$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 3$. Since $n=m$, the horizontal asymptote is $y=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$. The degree of the numerator $n = 2$ and the degree of the denominator $m = 2$.4. For $k(x)=\frac{6x^3+2x + 3}{2x^2-11x + 4}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
5. For $r(x)=\frac{(2x - 1)(5x + 6)}{(x + 3)(x - 6)}=\frac{10x^2+7x-6}{x^2-3x - 18}$

6. For $q(x)=\frac{(x^2-3)^2}{3x^3+4x^2+7}=\frac{x^4-6x^2 + 9}{3x^3+4x^2+7}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
7. For $p(x)=\frac{(3x - 1)^2}{2x^2+3x + 5}=\frac{9x^2-6x + 1}{2x^2+3x + 5}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
Step2: Find the horizontal - asymptote
8. For $y=\frac{(x - 2)(4 - x)}{(x + 3)^2}=\frac{-x^2+6x - 8}{x^2+6x + 9}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
Step2: Find the horizontal - asymptote
9. For $s(x)=\frac{(2x^2+3)^2(x - 4)}{(x^2+5)(x - 2)}=\frac{(4x^4 + 12x^2+9)(x - 4)}{x^3-2x^2+5x - 10}=\frac{4x^5-16x^4+12x^3-48x^2+9x - 36}{x^3-2x^2+5x - 10}$
Step1: Identify degrees of numerator and denominator
10. For $y=\frac{2x^3-5x + 6}{6x^3+10x^2-4x - 12}$
