Let #g(x) = 3x^5+1# and #h(x) = 2x^6+3x-1#
#f(x)=(3x^5+1)/(2x^6+3x-1) = g(x)/(h(x))#
#g(x)# is of degree #5# and #h(x)# is of degree #6#, so:
#f(x) = g(x)/(h(x))->0# as #x->+-oo#
So #f(x)# has horizontal asymptote #y = 0#
#f(x)# will have vertical asymptotes wherever #h(x) = 0# and #g(x) != 0#
#h(x) = 2x^6+3x-1# has #2# changes of sign, so #1# or #2# positive zeros.
#h(-x) = 2x^6-3x-1# has #1# change of sign, so #h(x)# has one negative zero.
Since the coefficients of #h(x)# are Real, any non-Real zeros will occur in Complex conjugate pairs, so there are an even number of non-Real zeros.
So we can deduce that #h(x)# has exactly one positive, one negative and four non-Real zeros.
#h(x) = 0# has no solution expressible in terms of #n#th roots, but we can find good approximations using Newton's method.
#h'(x) = 12x^5+3#
Starting with an initial approximation #a_0#, iterate using the formula:
#a_(i+1) = a_i - (h(a_i))/(h'(a_i)) = a_i - (2a_i^6+3a_i-1)/(12a_i^5+3)#
Putting this into a spreadsheet and using initial approximations #a_0=1# and #a_0=-1#, I got the following approximations after a few iterations:
#x_1 ~~ 0.3324335502431692846#
#x_2 ~~ -1.1414892917449508403#
Note also that the only Real zero of #g(x)# is when:
#x=root(5)(-1/3)~~-0.80274#
So neither of the zeros of #h(x)# are zeros of #g(x)# and both of the zeros of #h(x)# are vertical asymptotes of #f(x)#.
