How do you find vertical asymptotes?

Back

Vertical asymptotes occur at values of x that make the denominator of a rational function equal to zero, provided the numerator is not also zero at those points.

What does it mean if a function has no horizontal asymptote?

Back

If a function has no horizontal asymptote, it means that as x approaches infinity or negative infinity, the function's value continues to increase or decrease without bound.
