The function is .
Step 1: Find the zeros.
\ (Set
)
There is no zeros.
\Step 2: Find the asymptotes.
\Vertical asymptote:
\ (Set
)
and
(Simplify)
There is a vertical asymptote at and
.
The degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator.
\Thus, horizontal asymptote is .
Thus, the oblique asymptote is the line .
Step 3: Draw the asymptotes:
\Make a table of values.
