Find the horizontal asymptotes of $$ (x^2-x+5)/(x+1) $$.
Function by following steps:
- step0: Find the horizontal asymptotes:
  $$y=\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}$$
- step1: Evaluate the limits $$\lim _{xightarrow +\infty}\left(yight)$$ and $$\lim _{xightarrow -\infty}\left(yight):$$
  $$\begin{align}&\lim _{xightarrow +\infty}\left(\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}ight)\&\lim _{xightarrow -\infty}\left(\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}ight)\end{align}$$
- step2: Calculate:
  $$\begin{align}&+\infty\&-\infty\end{align}$$
- step3: The function has no horizontal asymptotes:
  $$	extrm{No horizontal asymptotes}$$
Find the vertical asymptotes of $$ (x^2-x+5)/(x+1) $$.
Function by following steps:
- step0: Find the vertical asymptotes:
  $$y=\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}$$
- step1: Evaluate the limit:
  $$\lim _{xightarrow -1}\left(\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}ight)$$
- step2: Evaluate the left-hand and the right-hand limits:
  $$\begin{align}&\lim _{xightarrow -1^{-}}\left(\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}ight)\&\lim _{xightarrow -1^{+}}\left(\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1}ight)\end{align}$$
- step3: Evaluate the left-hand limit:
  $$\begin{align}&-\infty\&+\infty\end{align}$$
- step4: Limit does not exist:
  $$	extrm{The limit does not exist}$$
- step5: $$x=-1$$ is a vertical asymptote$$:$$
  $$\begin{align}&x=-1	extrm{ }	extrm{is a vertical asymptote}\end{align}$$
- step6: List all vertical asymptotes of the function:
  $$\begin{align}&x=-1\end{align}$$
The rational function $$ f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-x+5}{x+1} $$ has a vertical asymptote at $$ x=-1 $$ and no horizontal asymptotes.
The function has a vertical asymptote at $$ x=-1 $$ and no horizontal asymptotes.
