What is a vertical asymptote ?

A vertical asymptote is when the denominator equals zero. You can factor and solve the denominator to find the asymptote.

100

What is a horizontal asymptote and what are three ways using the degrees you can tell what the horizontal asymptote is?

Horizontal line that the function never touches.

Numerator exponent is bigger= then it is none Numerator exponent is smaller=then it is 0

Exponents are the same= divide coefficients
