Answer
There is a vertical asymptote at $x = -1$.
There are no holes in the graph.
Work Step by Step
Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator becomes undefined, which means where the denominator equals $0$.
To find vertical asymptotes, set each factor in the denominator equal to $0$:
$x + 1 = 0$
Subtract $1$ from each side of the equation:
$x = -1$
There is a vertical asymptote at $x = -1$.
Holes in the graph occur where the same factor occurs in both the numerator and denominator. In this exercise, there are no factors that are the same in the numerator and denominator; therefore, there are no holes in the graph.
