How do you find the asymptotes of a radical?
How to find horizontal asymptote for radical expressions - YouTube
There are no horizontal asymptotes because Q(x) is 1 . Use polynomial division to find the oblique asymptotes. Because this expression contains a radical, polynomial division cannot be performed. This is the set of all asymptotes.
Here are the rules to find asymptotes of a function y = f(x). To find the horizontal asymptotes apply the limit x→∞ or x→ -∞. To find the vertical asymptotes apply the limit y→∞ or y→ -∞. To find the slant asymptote (if any), divide the numerator by the denominator.
We can also take the limit as x approaches negative infinity and also call the result a horizontal asymptote of f(x). For rational functions the limits are always the same. On the other hand absolute value and root functions can have two different horizontal asymptotes.

Determine Horizontal Asymptotes for the Radical Function - YouTube
We've learned that the graphs of polynomials are smooth & continuous. They have no asymptotes of any kind. Rational algebraic functions (having numerator a polynomial & denominator another polynomial) can have asymptotes; vertical asymptotes come about from denominator factors that could be zero.
Certain functions, such as exponential functions, always have a horizontal asymptote. A function of the form f(x) = a (bx) + c always has a horizontal asymptote at y = c. For example, the horizontal asymptote of y = 30e–6x – 4 is: y = -4, and the horizontal asymptote of y = 5 (2x) is y = 0.

Finding Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes of Rational Functions

The square root function can have vertical asymptotes when the denominator is zero. We can identify the asymptotes in the graph of the function.
A vertical asymptote [ass'·im·tōt, silent p] (VA) is a result of a zero or root in the denominator of a rational function. At a vertical asymptote, the graph of the function rises or falls steeply to ± infinity (±∞).
Vertical asymptotes (VA) are located at values of x that are undefined, i.e. values of x that make the denominator equal zero. To find horizontal asymptotes (HA), compare the degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the HA is y=0 .

1 Answer. The quadratic functions have no asymptotes.
We have already seen that the domain and range of a cube root function is the set of all real numbers and it has no asymptotes.
