What is the oblique asymptote of the function f(x) = the quantity x squared minus 5x plus 6 over the quantity x minus 4? a) y= x+9 b) y= x-9 c) y= x+1 d) y= x-1

polynomial long division gives you f(x) = 2/(x-4) + x - 1. a proof of this fact has been left to the reader.

clearly as x go to + or - infinity, 2/(x-4) approaches 0. the oblique asypmote is y = x-1 as that is all that is left

1. d.90

2. e. none of these (80)

3. a. 0

4. b. 6

5. e. none of these (10)

6. a. 5

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
