Determine the horizontal asymptote of the function. If none exists, state that fact. \( f(x)=\frac{2 x^{3}-3 x+5}{4 x^{3}+9 x-8} \)

The brain mass of a fetus can be estimated using the total mass of the fetus by the function \( b=0.22 \mathrm{~m}^{0.87} \), where m is the mass of the fetus (in grams) and \( b \) is the brain mass grams). Suppose the brain mass of a \( 20-\mathrm{g} \) fetus is changing at a rate of 0.23 g per day. Use this to estimate the rate of change of the total mass of the fetus, \( \frac{\mathrm{dm}}{\mathrm{dt}} \).

\( \lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } [ \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { n } \frac { 3 - ( - 1 ) } { n } \cdot f ( ( - 1 ) + i \cdot \frac { 3 - ( - 1 ) } { n } ) ] \)

\( \int _ { - 1 } f ( x ^ { 2 } - 1 ) d x = \lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } [ \sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { n } \frac { 3 - ( - 1 ) } { n } \cdot f ( ( - 1 ) + i \cdot \frac { 3 - ( - 1 ) } { n } ) ] \)

1 The brain mass of a fetus can be estimated using the total mass of the fetus by the function \( \mathrm{b}=0.22 \mathrm{~m}^{0.87} \), where m is the mass of the fetus (in grams) and b is the brain m grams). Suppose the brain mass of a \( 20-\mathrm{g} \) fetus is changing at a rate of 0.23 g per day. Use this to estimate the rate of change of the total mass of the fetus, \( \frac{\mathrm{dm}}{\mathrm{dt}} \). \( \frac{\mathrm{dm}}{\mathrm{dt}}=1.65 \mathrm{~g} \) per day (Round to five decimal places as needed.)
