Find asymptote of function
.
To find horizontal asymptote, determine
.
.
As
, Then
.


Thus, there is no horizontal asymptote.
\To find vertical asymptote,equate denominator to zero.
\


Imaginary roots are not consider.
\There is no vertical asymptote.
\Find the slant asymptote by long division method.
\
Therefore, the function is reduced as
.
The slant asymptote is the polynomial part of the reduced expreession.
\Therefore, slant asymptote is
