How do you find the asymptotes for f(x) = (x+3)/(x-3)f(x)=x+3x3?

The vertical asymptote is when the denominator goes toward 00

Explanation:

This is when x->3x3, so the vertical asymptote is x=3x=3

The horizontal asymptote is when xx becomes very large, either positive or negative. The +3+3 and the -33 make less and less of a difference, so the value goes to x//x=1x/x=1
So the horizontal asymptote is y=1y=1
