You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator goes to zero.
In this case, you can remove the factor %28x%2B4%29 from both numerator and denominator so the only value to be concerned with is,
x-3=0
x=3
You have a vertical asymptote and discontinuity at x=3.
