vertical asymptote at x = 2
horizontal asymptote at y= 0 (x-axis)
Explanation:
Vertical asymptote occur when the denominator of a rational
function is zero. They can be found by equating the
denominator to zero.hence x - 2 = 0 gives x = 2.
[ If the degree of the numerator < degree of denominator then
there will be a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 ]
Here is the graph of f(x) to illustrate:
