Hi, 

f(x)=4x^2/(x^2-36)

Verical asymptotes: x = 6 and x= -6  (Denominator cannot be zero)

y asymptote is y = 4 (•degrees of the numerator and denominator the same, 

the horizontal asymptoteis: y = 4/1 (the coefficient of the largest exponent of 

the numerator divided by the leading coefficient of the denominator)
