I was wondering if anyone could help find the oblique asymptote for:

f(x)=x^3/(1-x)^2

I got y=x but the answers said it was y=x+2 and then solved it without dividing highest power...

^If you don't understand, forget it

Long dividing would be the best way to find oblique assymptotes for this question (very quick - try it)





EDIT: made a mistake

Haha, that was kind of like the answers. I was wondering, how you knew how to manipulate it like that?

Ah okay thanks :>)

Its an alternative way to long dividing - when the top degree of GREATER OR EQUAL TO bottom degree.
Begin with:

Write 'bottom on bottom'



Do stuff to make it look like your true f(x) or else you've changed the question



Simplfiy,



Then keep doing it

Is this what you're asking?

EDIT: in bold
