Good teaching is giving right questions, not right answers.

Please review these rules for horizontal asymptotes. Since the exponent of the top function is the same as the bottom function, n=m, the horizontal asymptote is y = 4/1 = 4. You can also find the horizontal asymptote of this function by taking the limit as x-->infinity.
To find the vertical asymptotes, set the denominator (x=3) equal to zero. Note that this is the method to find vertical asymptotes for rational functions, which is of the form y = p(x)/q(x).
x + 3 = 0 , so x=-3 is the vertical asymptote.
