The horizontal asymptote is y=1/sqrt6
There are no oblique or vertical asymptote

Explanation:

Let f(x)=(x+2)/sqrt(6x^2+5x+4)

AA x in RR, (6x^2+5x+4 )>0, =>, no vertical asymptote

Let rewrite the function,

f(x)=(cancel(x)(1+2/x))/(cancel(x)sqrt(6+5/x+4/x^2))

Therefore,

lim_(x->+-oo)f(x)=lim_(x->+-oo)((1+2/x))/(sqrt(6+5/x+4/x^2))=1/sqrt6

The horizontal asymptote is y=1/sqrt6

graph{(y-(x+2)/sqrt(6x^2+5x+4))(y-1/sqrt6)=0 [-5.546, 5.555, -2.773, 2.774]}
