To find the vertical and horizontal asymptote of the rational function.
Answer to Problem 32E
The rational function has vertical asymptote
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The rational function is
Calculation:
Vertical asymptote of
Therefore,
The zero of the denominators is obtained as:
Either,
Or,
Hence,
The rational function has vertical asymptote
Horizontal asymptote:
Here, the degree of the numerator is
Since,
Hence,
The rational function hasvertical asymptote
