vertical asymptote x = 3
horizontal asymptote y=0
Explanation:
Vertical asymptotes can be found when the denominator
of a rational function is zero.
hence 3 - x = 0 → x = 3 is a vertical asymptote.
[ If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of
the denominator of a rational function then y = 0 is a
horizontal asymptote ]here degree of numerator is 0 and degree of denominator 1
hence horizontal asymptote at y = 0
Here is the graph of the function to illustrate them.
