Answer

Horizontal asymptote:$\qquad y=5$ (graphed at desmos.com)

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}(\frac{5x^{2}}{x^{2}+2})=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{5x^{2}\div x^{2}}{(x^{2}+2)\div x^{2}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{5}{1+2/x^{2}}=5$ $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}(\frac{5x^{2}}{x^{2}+2})=5$ Horizontal asymptote:$\qquad y=5$
