Problem

Consider the function p(x)=x+1x2−x−6p(x)=\dfrac{x+1}{x^{2}-x-6}. Determine the equation of each vertical asymptote of pp, and for every asymptote x=ax=a evaluate the one-sided limits lim⁡x→a−p(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a^-}p(x) and lim⁡x→a+p(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a^+}p(x), indicating whether each limit equals +∞+\infty or −∞-\infty.
