1. Problem Description

We are given the function f(x)=3x2xx1f(x) = \frac{3x^2 - x}{x - 1} and asked to find the equation of its oblique asymptote.

2. Solution Steps

To find the oblique asymptote, we perform polynomial long division of the numerator by the denominator.
Dividing 3x2x3x^2 - x by x1x - 1, we have:
```
3x + 2
x - 1 | 3x^2 - x
-(3x^2 - 3x)
----------------
2x
-(2x - 2)
----------------
2
```
So, 3x2xx1=3x+2+2x1\frac{3x^2 - x}{x - 1} = 3x + 2 + \frac{2}{x - 1}.
As xx approaches infinity, the term 2x1\frac{2}{x - 1} approaches

0. Therefore, the oblique asymptote is $y = 3x + 2$.

3. Final Answer

y=3x+2y = 3x + 2
