Find vertical asymptotes from the function's denominator, not from its zeros. Solve for every input that makes that denominator zero, express the repeating family with an integer parameter, and then check the numerator at those inputs. A nonzero numerator confirms genuine blow-up behavior rather than a cancellation.
