find the horizontal and verticle asymptotes for the function
t(x)= x-1/x^2-1
-----------------------
Vertical Asymptotes where the denominator is zero:
x^2-1 = 0
(x-1)(x+1) = 0
Vertical asymptote at x=1 and at x=-1
---------------------------------------
Horizontal asymptote:
y = 0x^2/1x^2 = 0/1 = 0
Horizontal asyptote at y=0
