Answer:

As x = -5, x = 2 and y = 3 are the equations of the asymptotes of the graph of the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{3x^{2} -2x - 1}{x^{2}+3x-10 }[/tex].

Therefore, x = -5, x = 2 and y = 3 is the right option.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given function is

[tex]f(x)=\frac{3x^{2} -2x - 1}{x^{2}+3x-10 }[/tex]

Determining Vertical Asymptote:

The line x = L is a vertical asymptote of the function if if the limit of the function (one-sided) at this point is infinite.

In other words, it means that possible points are points where the denominator equals 0 or doesn't exist.

Such as

[tex]x^{2} +3x -10 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(x-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]  [tex]or[/tex]  [tex]x=-5[/tex]

x=−5 , check:

[tex]\lim_{x \to -5^{+}}({3x^{2}-2x-11 \over x^{2}+3x-10 }) = -\infty[/tex]

Since, the limit is infinite, then x = -5 is a vertical asymptote.

x = 2, check:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}({3x^{2}-2x-11 \over x^{2}+3x-10 }) = -\infty[/tex]

Since the limit is infinite, then x = 2 is a vertical asymptote.

Determining Horizontal Asymptote:

Line y=L is a horizontal asymptote of the function y = f(x), if either

[tex]\lim_{x \to \infty^{}}{f(x)=L}[/tex] or [tex]\lim_{x \to -\infty^{}}{f(x)=L},[/tex] and L is finite.

Calculating the limits:

[tex]\lim_{x \to \infty^{}}({3x^{2}-2x-11 \over x^{2}+3x-10 }) = 3[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x \to -\infty^{}}({3x^{2}-2x-11 \over x^{2}+3x-10 }) = 3[/tex]

Thus, the horizontal asymptote is y=3.

So, x = -5, x = 2 and y = 3 are the equations of the asymptotes of the graph of the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{3x^{2} -2x - 1}{x^{2}+3x-10 }[/tex].

Therefore, x = -5, x = 2 and y = 3 is the right option.
