Verticalset the denominator of the function equal to zero and solve for 'x', x is the vertical asymptote.Horizontalsubtract the amount of x's in the numerator from the number of x's in the denominator, then do one of the four things to find y: and if the answer is negative, then y=0 does that help any?if the answer is 0, then y= a/b (ax/bx)<span>If the answer is greater than positive 1, then there is no horizontal asymptote </span>ObliqueIf the answer is 1, then it is oblique. use long division with the denominator as the divisor of the overall function given (not the fraction) and y= ax+/- b Does this help at all ????
