The degree of the numerator polynomial in f is less than the degree of the denominator polynomial, so the function is asymptotic to the -axis. Write an equation of the -axis.

The function has a vertical asymptote with equation for every real value such that the denominator is equal to zero if . Set the denominator equal to zero, then solve for all possible real roots, , then there will be a vertical asymptote at every vertical line .
