The asymptotes will occur when the denominator is 0 and the numerator is nonzero.

The denominator is 0 when --> , . However, when x = 3 we get which is indeterminate, and no asymptote occurs (there is a hole in the graph instead). Since , this is the only asymptote.

asymptotes
f(x)=(3x^2-7x-6)/(2x^2-18)
---
Factor:
---
f(x) = [3x^2-9x+2x-6]/[2(x-3)(x+3)]
----
f(x) = [3x(x-3)+2(x-3)]/[2(x-3)(x+3)]
----
f(x) = [(x-3)(3x+2)]/ [2(x-3)(x+3]
-----
Vertical asymptote at x = -3
Hole at x = 3
Horizontal asymptote: y = 3/2
