Answer to Problem 6E
There is a vertical asymptote at x =1.
There is a horizontal asymptote y =5.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Given function
Calculation:
From top two tables:
So, there is a vertical asymptote at x =1.
From the bottom two tables:
So, there is a horizontal asymptote y =5.
