Question

How do you find the asymptotes for `f(x) = (x+3)(x-2)^3`?

Answer 1

This function is a polynomial function, and has no asymptotes.
- A vertical asymptote would only occur if the denominator of the function is ever equal to zero. The denominator of this function is 1.
- A horizontal asymptote would only occur if the end behavior as x approaches `+-oo`, `f(x)` approaches a finite number. Again, this would only work if it were a rational function with a denominator other than a constant.
