The curve \( y = \dfrac{2x + 1}{x - 3} \) has asymptotes

  • A.\( x = 3 \) and \( y = 0 \)
  • B.\( x = -3 \) and \( y = 2 \)
  • C.\( x = 2 \) and \( y = 3 \)
  • D.\( x = 3 \) and \( y = 2 \)

Answer: D

The denominator vanishes at \( x = 3 \), giving a vertical asymptote. For the horizontal one, divide through by \( x \):

\[ \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} \frac{2x+1}{x-3} \;=\; \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} \frac{2 + 1/x}{1 - 3/x} \;=\; 2. \]

So \( y = 2 \) is approached at both ends, the ratio of the leading coefficients
