$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Set the denominator equal to zero)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

So, the excluded value is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore,

\

Vertical asymptote: $\"\"$ .

\

Horizontal asymptote: $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

The asymptotes are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .
