Given the rational function f(x) = (3x)/(x² - 9), identify the vertical and horizontal asymptotes. Explain how you determined their locations. For the rational function g(x) = (4)/(x² - 1), find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes. Describe the behavior of the function as it approaches these asymptotes.
