Find the horizontal asymptote of  f(x) = 2 ((x+4)(5 x-1))/((8-x)(7 x + 2))

 

limx2(x+4)(5x1)(8x)(7x+2)=limx25x2+19x47x2+54x+16=limx25x2x2+19xx24x27x2x2+54xx2+16x2=limx25+19x4x27+54x+16x2=257=107

 

horizontal Asymptote: y=107=1.42857142857

Well lets see if I can use Chris's shortcut that he just showed me

 

asymptote at

 

y=25x27x2y=107

 

Is that right?   I know I could check myself but I am being lazy :/
