I. If, there is a horizontal asmptote at = 0, the -ais. II. If, there is a horizontal asmptote at = a b. III. If, the graph has no horizontal asmptote. NOTE: The graph of a rational function will never "cross" the asmptote, but it is possible for a graph to cross the asmptote. **To find where a function crosses its horizontal asmptote, set the function equal to and solve. ) To find an Oblique or Non-linear asmptote: Consider Option III. If n > m, the graph has no horizontal asmptote. The function will have an oblique or non-linear asmptote, determined b the after division. (disregard the remainder.) Oblique: Degree of numerator is more than of denominator Non-linear: Degree is larger b or more. g Gg0E1B8T mksuwtrao QSDohfqtcwuaSrSe^ KLFLgCR.t i LAklzlR srbilg\hrtesz NrseqseCrivpe^di.U ` RMuaCdTe_ ]wiiqtkhw hi\nmffinniihtued raflygmelbhras XB. -1-
