Problema Solution

Make up a rational function that has y = 2x + 1 as an oblique asymptote. Explain the methodology that you used.

Answer provided by our tutors

First, let's multiply your asymptote by x/x (which doesn't change it):

x^2/(2x) -5x/x

 

Get a common denominator and combine terms:

x^2/(2x) - 10x/(2x)

(x^2-10x)/(2x)

 

Now, we can use constants on the top, which won't change the asymptote:

(x^2 - 10x + 5) / (2x)

 

That has the oblique asymptote 1/2 x - 5

There are infinitely many functions with that asymptote.
