Vertical asymptotes are places where functions are not defined. This happens when one tries to divide by zero. Your vertical asymptote therefore occurs when x-1 =0…or when x = 1.

Here’s a hint for the horizontal asymptotes (if any): what values are given when x gets very large in the positive direction? in the negative direction? Any limits?

Ok, I think there’s a vertical asymptote when x=1 since

-1

—= impossible. There is a “hole” in the function. However,

0 I’m not sure if a hole classifies as an asymptote. Sorry.
