The rational expression is image.

Let f(x) be the related function image.

The function f(x), there is no possible to simplification.

The graph of f(x) had vertical asymptotes at the zeros of denominator or D(x).

image.

Because the degree of the numerator or N(x), 4 is greater than the degree of the denominator or D(x), 2 ; the graph of f(x) no horizontal asymptote. So, the function has slant (or oblique).

To find the equation of a slant asymptote, use long division.

The asymptotes are image.
