SV #2 Unit G Concept 1-7: Finding Vertical/Horizontal Asymptotes, Slants, etc

What is this problem about?
This problem is about finding the vertical asymptotes as well as the horizontal asymptotes and just finding several parts to it. Slants are included as well and a fact you know is that if you have a horizontal asymptote then you do not have a slant or vice versa since you cannot have both in one equation. Graphing it is another step to this and you have to find the domain, x intercepts, and y intercepts as well. There are several steps in this Unit and it requires a lot of memorization. A tip would be studying the flashcards or rehearsing the chants so that you know what to do when looking for a slant or vertical asymptote. 

What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand? 
These types of problems are very tricky and can be easy when it comes to messing up and forgetting how to solve for a certain part. The reason is because there are several parts to it and several techniques on how to do it. Now, the viewer has to pay special attention to the rules because if they should realize the fact that if they find a horizontal asymptote, then they should not have a slant. Also, when it comes remembering what to do specifically to find a certain part. They should know exactly what to do when solving and for example know that if looking for a slant then long division is what to use.
