1. How do we know if a graph has a horizontal asymptote? What are the three options? Well first of all we have to compare the degrees of the numerator and denominator. Then if there is a bigger degree on bottom the asymptote is y=0. If they have the same degrees the asymptote is the ratio of the coefficients. Then lastly if the bigger degree is on top there will be no horizontal asymptote.We know a graph has a horizontal asymptote when the bigger degree is on the bottom. If this is so, y will equal zero. If the degree is the same, the asymptote is the ratio of the coefficient. If the bigger degree is on the top there will be no asymptote.
