Answer

The vertical asymptote is the line $x=\pm 2$. The horizontal asymptote is the line $y=0$.

Work Step by Step

Given $g(x)=\frac{2}{(x-2)(x+2)}=\frac{2}{x^2-4}$ $x^2-4=0 $ $x=\pm 2$ The vertical asymptote is the line $x=\pm 2$. The horizontal asymptote is the line $y=0$. Make a list of values: $x=−2→ y=0$ $x=−1→ y=-\frac{2}{3}$ $x=0→ y=-\frac{1}{2}$ $x=1→ y=-\frac{2}{3}$ $x=2→ y=0$
