Find where the expression is undefined.
Consider the rational function where is the degree of the numerator and is the degree of the denominator.
1. If , then the x-axis, , is the horizontal asymptote.
2. If , then the horizontal asymptote is the line .
3. If , then there is no horizontal asymptote (there is an oblique asymptote).
Find and .
Since , the x-axis, , is the horizontal asymptote.
There is no oblique asymptote because the degree of the numerator is less than or equal to the degree of the denominator.
