The equations of any vertical asymptotes are , where are the set of real number zeros of the denominator polynomial.

The equation of a horizontal asymptote for a rational function where the degree of the numerator polynomial is equal to the degree of the denominator polynomial is where is the lead coefficient of the numerator polynomial and is the lead coefficient of the denominator polynomial.
