Answer

vertical asymptotes $x=-1$ and $x=1$, horizontal asymptote $y=0$, oblique asymptote $none$.

Work Step by Step

Step 1. Factor the function $T(x)=\frac{x^3}{x^4-1}=\frac{x^3}{(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)}$, Step 2. we can find the vertical asymptotes $x=-1$ and $x=1$, Step 3. we can find the horizontal asymptote $y=0$, Step 4. we can find the oblique asymptote $none$.
