Given f(x) =(x^3+1)/(x^2+2x), find any vertical asymptotes?

    Vertical asymptotes exist when the denominator (bottom of the fraction) is equal to zero

    so x^2 + 2x = 0

    which leads to x(x+2) = 0

    x(x+2) is equal to 0 when either x or x+2 = 0

    which leads to x = 0 and x+2 = 0, i.e. x = -2

    so f(x) will have vertical asymptotes at x = 0, x = -2
