vertical asymptotes are #x=0 and x=-1/2#
horizontal asymptote is #y=0#

Explanation:

Let #3-5x=0#
#=> x_u=3/5#

Let #x+2x^2=0#
#=> x_(d_1)=0 or x_(d_2)=-1/2#

#=>#
#x_u!=x_(d_1)!=x_(d_2)#

#=>#
vertical asymptotes are #x=0 and x=-1/2#

#lim_(x rarr +-oo)f_((x))=0#
#=>#
horizontal asymptote is #y=0#
