Explanation:

you devide the upper half of a fraction with the part under it. for example

6x2+x+1

_______=6. that is asymptote

x2+2

when you multiply 6 and lower half of a fraction you get 6x2+12

if you substract that from 6x2+x+1 you get x-11

if you make x-11=0 the number that x represents is the point where the function crosses the asymptote
