Given:

f(x)=3x2+x5x2+1f(x)=\frac{3x^2+x-5}{x^2+1}

We need to determine the domain, vertical asymptotes, and horizontal asymptotes of the given function.

The domain consists of all xx-values for which the function is defined.

x=ax=a is a vertical asymptote when the function approaches -\infty or ++\infty as xx approaches aa.

y=by=b is a horizontal asymptote when the function approaches bb as xx approaches -\infty or ++\infty.
