What value(s) of the independent variable is(are) going to make the function increase (or decrease) without bound? (x = (that(those) value(s) ) is(are) the vertical asymptote(s)).

What value will the function approach as x increases (or decreases) without bound? (y = (that value) is the horizontal asymptote).
