1. Factorize the denominator and numerator:

.

.

So .

2. Vertical Asymptote:

Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero and the numerator is not zero at the same point.

Setting the denominator equal to zero gives  or , so  and .

When , the factor  cancels out.

When , the denominator is zero and the numerator is not zero. So there is a vertical asymptote at , not
