Identify the degrees of the polynomials in the numerator and the denominator. The degree of the numerator is 2 (from 8x^2), and the degree of the denominator is also 2 (from 2x^2).
Since the degrees of the numerator and the denominator are equal, the horizontal asymptote is determined by the ratio of the leading coefficients.
The leading coefficient of the numerator is 8, and the leading coefficient of the denominator is 2.
Divide the leading coefficient of the numerator by the leading coefficient of the denominator to find the horizontal asymptote: \( \frac{8}{2} \).
