Why we calculate the nature of denominator before find out asymptotes? like to fimd out aymptote of (2x/(x+1)) first we dicuss whereb X tends to +or-(infin) and as X tends to -1

X=-1 is the asymptote of this function. We find out that X tends to -1 from right hand side or left to know how to plot the function. If x tends to -1 from right, it would mean the function is +infinity.
If x tends to -1 from left, it would mean the function tends to -infinity. Thanks

x=-1 is the assymptote of the given eq
we first check denominator because asymptotes are tangents at infinity
so when the denominator tends to zero at that pt tangents are called asymptotes
