Find the oblique (slant) asymptote of \(\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x^{3} + x^{2} - 69 x - 189}{x^{2} + 17 x + 72}\).


The oblique asymptote is the whole part without the remainder after polynomial long division.

Dividing gives the quotient \(\displaystyle x - 16\) and the remainder \(\displaystyle 131 x + 963\). The oblique asymptote is \(\displaystyle y = x - 16\).
