finding vertical asymptotes is easy. lets use the equation y = (2x-2)/((x^2)-2x-3)

since its a rational equation, all we have to do to find the vertical asymptotes is find the values at which the denominator would be equal to 0. since this makes it an undefined equation, that is where the asymptotes are. for this equation, -1 and 3 are the answers for the vertical ayspmtotes.

the horizontal asymptotes are a lot more tricky. to solve them, simplify the equation if it is in factored form, then divide all terms both in the numerator and denominator with the term with the highest degree. so the horizontal asymptote of this equation is 0.
