Given the explicit formula, identify the first term and the common ratio. an=4(−3)n−1
First term =

Common Ratio =

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.

answer: the answer to this problem is yes because 4n + 4 does equal 2m - 6

step-by-step explanation: first you have to calculate 2m - 6 second you have to calculate 4n + 4 finally you have to get your answer
