Determine Whether the Graph of the Rational Function Has a Horizontal

question 21

Multiple Choice

Determine whether the graph of the rational function has a horizontal asymptote, an oblique asymptote, or neither. Give
the equation of the asymptote if it exists.
- $f ( x ) = \frac { 10 x ^ { 3 } - 17 x ^ { 2 } + 3 x - 1 } { 4 x ^ { 2 } - 1 }$

• A) \(\text { Oblique asymptote: } y = \frac { 5 } { 2 } x - \frac { 17 } { 4 }\)
• B) \(\text { Horizontal asymptote: } y = \frac { 5 } { 2 }\)
• C)Neither
