Given information

We are given the function .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
We need to find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the function .
Notice that the domain of is
 
So we check for vertical asymptotes by computing the left and right limits as  .
For approaching from the left, , the denominator is a negative quantity approaching 0 from the left we get . This shows that is a vertical asymptote . In the same way we get that
This shows that is a vertical asymptote . To find horizontal asymptotes compute
 
 
 
Thus shows that is a horizontal asymptote.
Hence, the vertical asymptotes are , and is the horizontal asymptote.
