Veritcal asymptotes are where the denominator of a fraction becomes and
the value of becomes . Set the to
and solve.

Horizontal asymptotes are values of when →
and →
here is example:

Vertical asymptote:
Set and solve for .
has real solution, so there is

.
Horizontal:
Divide all terms by the highest power of to eliminate unimportant values
dividing by , you get
As → then → (it vanishes),
leaving , so there is a horizontal asymptote at
