 Find all asymptotes of the   function y=(x/( (√(x^2 +2)))) .

$$\:{Find}\:{all}\:{asymptotes}\:{of}\:{the}\: \\ $$$${function}\:{y}=\frac{{x}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}}}\:. \\ $$

Horizontal asymptote : y = lim_(x→∞)  (x/( (√(x^2 +2)))) = lim_(x→∞)  (1/( (√(1+2x^(−2) ))))=1  and y = lim_(x→−∞) (x/( (√(x^2 +2)))) = lim_(x→−∞) ((−1)/( (√(1+2x^(−2) ))))=−1  so y=−1 and y=1 are the horizontal asymptotes

$${Horizontal}\:{asymptote}\::\:{y}\:=\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{{x}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}}}\:=\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{x}^{−\mathrm{2}} }}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${and}\:{y}\:=\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow−\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{{x}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}}}\:=\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow−\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}{x}^{−\mathrm{2}} }}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${so}\:{y}=−\mathrm{1}\:{and}\:{y}=\mathrm{1}\:{are}\:{the}\:{horizontal}\:{asymptotes} \\ $$

  let f(x)=(x/( (√(x^2 +2))))  vertical asymptotes:  since the (√(x^2 +2)) >0,   ∴ no vertical asymptotes available.    horizontal asymptotes:  lim_(x→+∞)  ((x/( (√(x^2 +2)))))=lim_(x→∞)  ((1/( (√(1+(2/x^2 ))))))  =(1/( (√(1+0))))=1  lim_(x→−∞)  ((x/( (√(x^2 +2)))))=lim_(x→∞)  (−(x/( (√(x^2 +2)))))  =lim_(x→∞)  (−(1/( (√(1+(2/x^2 ))))))=−(1/( (√(1+0))))=−1  ∴ horizontal asymptotes, y=−1 and y=1.    slank asymptotes:  y=mx+c  m=((f(x))/x)=(1/( (√(x^2 +2))))  lim_(x→+∞)  ((1/( (√(x^2 +2)))))=0  lim_(x→−∞)  ((1/( (√(x^2 +2)))))=lim_(x→∞)  (−(1/( (√(x^2 +2)))))=0  ∴ no slank asymptotes available.
