Polynomial Long Division and Slant Asymptotes
This note is a review — you've already seen slant asymptotes (1.7B) and the full rational function checklist (1.8 through 1.10). Here we practice those skills heavily, add synthetic division as a shortcut, and learn to read end behavior straight from quotient+remainder form.
