Domain: let y = 0 to find x-int.(s) where is g(x) undefined Asymptote(s) if x is undefined at a number, there is a vertical asymptote at that number. V.A. @ x = 2 Deg. of N < Deg. of D Compare the exponents. Do we have a horizontal at y = 0, a horz. at y = a/b, or a slant asymptote? is horz. asymptote
