Answer

$V.A.$ $x=\frac{1}{5}$ and $x=5$, $H.A$ $y=\frac{3}{5}$, $O.A.$ $none$.

Work Step by Step

Given $f(x)=\frac{3x^2-6x-24}{5x^2-26x+5}=\frac{(3x+6)(x-4)}{(5x-1)(x-5)}$, we can identify the following: vertical asymptote $V.A.$ $x=\frac{1}{5}$ and $x=5$, horizontal asymptote $H.A$ $y=\frac{3}{5}$, oblique asymptote $O.A.$ $none$.
