If I am not mistaken, the asymptote is 3. When you plug 3 in for x and then do the math, you see that denominator becomes 0, which is not allowed. Does that make sense? An asymptote exists because a function does NOT exist at that point and that point only.

thanx and is the answer 3

Actually, it is x = 3, but yes, it is 3.
