A rational function may or may not have a vertical asymptote.
\If the domain of the rational function is all real numbers, then there is no vertical asymptote.
\Consider the function is ![\"\"](\"http://www.mathskey.com/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=7ceba48b68d6468999626002f80ceea6.png\")
