slant asymptote

Let us learn about slant asymptote

Try to find the slant asymptote of the following function:

Y = x² + 3x + 2 divided by x – 2

To find the slant asymptote, we need to do the long division:

The slant asymptote is the polynomial part of the solution, not the remainder.

Slant asymptote: y = x + 5

Just like horizontal & vertical asymptotes, slant asymptotes are lines the graph approaches. Slant asymptote are also called oblique asymptotes.

A graph always has a slant asymptote if the degree of the numerator is bigger than the degree of the denominator

If you want to find slant asymptotes, divide the numerator by the denominator & keep only the quotient Don't forget that these are still lines, so slant asymptote are written as y =

To divide slant asymptote, you either have to use long division or synthetic division
