Asymptotes
Horizontal and vertical Asymptote from a rational expression
A function can have at the most one horizontal asymptote but many vertical asymptotes.(apparently this arises because of the way function is defined-not more than one f(x) value for any given 'x' value.(vertical line test property).A function can have both asymptotes.
Horizontal Aymptote: 'x'approaches + or - infinity but f(x)is generally bounded by the H-asymptote line.[x-horizontal axis, f(x)-vertical axis always]

Vertical Asymptote:'f(x)'approaches infinity as x approaches a some value towards the origin .
