Horizontal Asymptotes occur when is undefined.



when . I leave it for you to find the values of x that cause this to be true.

I gave enough info to help get you through the problem. Try to finish this off.

thanks for the reply

the x values that i get are +/- square root of 0.5 and 0.

the question though asks for the y values (like horizontal asymptote at y=2)

how would i find this?
