Q. Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the function:f(x)=(x−2)(x+4)(2x−1)(3x+1)The fields below accept a list of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons (e.g. 2;4;6 or x+1;x−1). The order of the list does not matter.Vertical asymptotes:x=Horizontal asymptotes:y=
Find Vertical Asymptotes: To find the vertical asymptotes, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x.(x−2)(x+4)=0x−2=0 or x+4=0x=2 or x=−4
Compare Degrees for Horizontal Asymptotes: For the horizontal asymptotes, compare the degrees of the numerator and the denominator.Degree of numerator (2x−1)(3x+1)=2 (since it's a product of two first-degree polynomials).Degree of denominator (x−2)(x+4)=2 (same reason as above).
Calculate Horizontal Asymptote: Since the degrees are the same, the horizontal asymptote is found by dividing the leading coefficients of the numerator and the denominator.Leading coefficient of numerator = 2×3=6Leading coefficient of denominator = 1×1=1Horizontal asymptote: y=16=6
