CPM Homework Help : PC3 Problem 4-120

Use polynomial division to rewrite the equation of $r(x)=\frac{3x^2+x-5}{x-4}$ . Then graph the function and describe the end behavior.

Hint:

A vertical asymptote can occur when the denominator is equal to $0$ .

More Help:

Notice that the power of $x$ in the numerator is greater than the power of $x$ in the denominator. This will create a slant asymptote.
