Question 369255: Hi, I have to find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, as well as the y-intercept for the following:
If I'm not mistaken,
vertical asymptote =
horizontal asymptotes are and
I calculated the y-intercept by plugging 0 in for x and got 1/2, but when I graph the equation it doesn't look like 1/2. I appreciate any help you can provide :)

If I'm not mistaken,
vertical asymptote =
horizontal asymptote: y = 2x/x = 2

x-int: Solve [(1+2x)/(x+2)] = 0
True when 1+2x = 0
2x = -1
x = -1/2

Vertical asymptote is when the denominator equals 0. so x+2=0
x=-2
Horizontal asymptote in this problem would be the leading coefficients of the x values or so the Horizontal asymptote is at y=2.
You are right about the y-intercept at 1/2. The x-intercept is where y=0 so set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x.
The graph below shows the intercepts well:
The graph below shows the asymptotes well:

(1 + 2x)/(x+2)
x+2 = 0
x=-2
plug y =0
1+2x=0
x=-1/2
