Find the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes for the graph of the rational function with the following equation. f(x)= X+2/x^2+x-6
---------------
Factor:
f(x) = (x+2)/[(x+3)(x-2)]
---
Vertical asymptotes where the denominator is zero: x = -3 and x = 2
------
Horizontal asymptote where f(x) = (0*x^2)/(1/x^2) = 0/1 = 0
