The function is
,
.
Horizontal asymptotes are horizontal lines that the graph of the function
\approaches as
tends to
or
.
The horizontal asymptote is
.
From exercise (51):
.
Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is
.
Find the relative extrema.
\Consider

.
The critical number is

Consider the test intervals to find the interval of increasing and decreasing.
\Test intervals are

The function
is increasing on the interval
.
The function
is decreasing on the interval

changes from positive to negative.
Therefore according to First derivative test, the function has maximum at
.
When
