How to find SLANT ASYMPTOTES (KristaKingMath)

► My Applications of Derivatives course: kristakingmath.com/applications-of-derivatives-…

A rational function (which is a fraction in which both the numerator and denominator are polynomials) has a slant asymptote when the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator.

To find a slant asymptote, you need to perform polynomial long division. The result of the long division, not including the remainder term, is the slant asymptote of the function.

Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)

Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”

So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student—from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus—figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.
