Please read this note. This is the procedure to find assymptotes for algebraic curves, which is described in "Differential Calculus" by Ghosh & Maity.

It contains two solved problems to make you understand the procedure clearly. Read it carefully.

 is an increasing function of x.

Now applying Taylor's theorem in the following intervals respectively
,
and retaining the first two terms, we get,
 for some 
 for some .
 
adding the above two equations and dividing by 2, we get,


Clearly,   and  is increasing, therefore,  and  always.

Therefore. and thus we get our required result,
