TopicCurve Sketching
TypeSimple rational function analysis
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward recall question requiring identification of asymptotes from a simple rational function. Students need only recognize that x=1 makes the denominator zero (vertical asymptote) and y→0 as x→±∞ (horizontal asymptote). It's a 1-mark multiple choice question with no calculation or problem-solving required, making it significantly easier than average.
