There are 3 asymptotes for the f(x) = 4(x+1)/x(x−1); two (2) vertical asymptotes and one (1) horizontal asymptote.
V. A. x = 0, x = 1
H. A. y = 0
Since the domain has restrictions x≠0 and x≠1, and since x, nor (x−1) reduce out of the fraction, the V. A. are as shown above.
Since the degree of the numerator polynomial is 1, and the degree of the denominator polynomial is 2, a horizontal asymptote exits and is y = 0
