Determine the vertical and oblique asymptotes

The video tutorial explains how to find slant and vertical asymptotes for a given function. It begins by discussing the absence of horizontal asymptotes due to the higher degree of the numerator compared to the denominator. The tutorial then details the process of finding vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator equal to zero and solving for x. Finally, it covers the method for determining slant asymptotes through polynomial division, emphasizing that the remainder is not considered in the final equation.
