Determine Whether the Graph of the Rational Function Has a Horizontal

Multiple Choice

Determine whether the graph of the rational function has a horizontal asymptote, an oblique asymptote, or neither. Give
the equation of the asymptote if it exists.
- $f ( x ) = \frac { 10 x ^ { 3 } - 17 x ^ { 2 } + 3 x - 1 } { 4 x ^ { 2 } - 1 }$

A) $\text { Oblique asymptote: } y = \frac { 5 } { 2 } x - \frac { 17 } { 4 }$
B) $\text { Horizontal asymptote: } y = \frac { 5 } { 2 }$
C) Neither
