Asymptoot Rekenmachine

Vind asymptoten stap voor stap

De rekenmachine probeert de verticale, horizontale en scheve asymptoten van de functie te vinden, met uitgewerkte stappen.

Enter a function: `f(x)=`

If the calculator did not compute something or you have identified an error, or you have a suggestion/feedback, please contact us.

Solution

Your input: find the vertical, horizontal and slant asymptotes of the function $$$f(x)=\frac{x^{3} - 2 x^{2}}{x^{2} + 1}$$$

Vertical Asymptotes

The line $$$x=L$$$ is a vertical asymptote of the function $$$y=\frac{x^{3} - 2 x^{2}}{x^{2} + 1}$$$, if the limit of the function (one-sided) at this point is infinite.

In other words, it means that possible points are points where the denominator equals $$$0$$$ or doesn't exist.

So, find the points where the denominator equals $$$0$$$ and check them.

As can be seen, there are no such points, so this function doesn't have vertical asymptotes.

Horizontal Asymptotes

Line $$$y=L$$$ is a horizontal asymptote of the function $$$y=f{\left(x \right)}$$$, if either $$$\lim_{x \to \infty} f{\left(x \right)}=L$$$ or $$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} f{\left(x \right)}=L$$$, and $$$L$$$ is finite.

Calculate the limits:

$$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{x^{3} - 2 x^{2}}{x^{2} + 1}\right)=\infty$$$ (for steps, see limit calculator).

$$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{x^{3} - 2 x^{2}}{x^{2} + 1}\right)=-\infty$$$ (for steps, see limit calculator).

Thus, there are no horizontal asymptotes.

Slant Asymptotes

Do polynomial long division $$$\frac{x^{3} - 2 x^{2}}{x^{2} + 1}=x + \frac{2 - x}{x^{2} + 1} - 2$$$ (for steps, see polynomial long division calculator).

The rational term approaches 0 as the variable approaches infinity.

Thus, the slant asymptote is $$$y=x - 2$$$.

Answer

No vertical asymptotes.

No horizontal asymptotes.

Slant asymptote: $$$y=x - 2$$$
