Q. Write the equation of all horizontal asymptotes of the function f(x)=3x−2x26x−ex.
Question Prompt: Question Prompt: Determine the equation of all horizontal asymptotes for the function f(x)=3x−2x26x−ex.
Analyze Degrees: Analyze the degrees of the polynomials in the numerator and the denominator. The numerator has terms 6x and ex, where ex grows faster than any polynomial. The denominator has terms 3x and −2x2, with the highest degree being 2.
Determine Asymptote: Since the highest degree in the denominator (2) is greater than the highest degree in the numerator (1, considering ex as exponential growth), the horizontal asymptote is y=0. This is because as x approaches infinity, the polynomial term of higher degree in the denominator dominates, making the fraction approach zero.
