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.
