Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes

When finding the Vertical asymptotes of a function, you should...

• Set the denominator equal to zero

• Evaluate f(0)

• Set the numerator equal to zero

• Look at the degree of the numerator and denominator

When finding the Horizontal asymptotes of a function, you should...

• Set the denominator equal to zero

• Evaluate f(0)

• Set the numerator equal to zero

• Look at the degree of the numerator and denominator

• Degree of numerator equals degree of denominator

• Degree of numerator is greater than degree of denominator

• Degree of numerator is less than degree of denominator

• Cannot be determined

• Degree of numerator equals degree of denominator

• Degree of numerator is greater than degree of denominator

• Degree of numerator is less than degree of denominator

• Cannot be determined
