Identifying vertical, horizontal asymptotes and holes

The video tutorial explains how to identify vertical asymptotes and distinguish them from other discontinuities like holes. It emphasizes the importance of checking if discontinuities are removable or non-removable by factoring the numerator and denominator. The tutorial also covers horizontal asymptotes, explaining how to determine them by comparing the degrees of the numerator and denominator. The key takeaway is to carefully analyze functions to correctly identify asymptotes and discontinuities.
