The pair of limits that would verify the existence of a vertical asymptote at x = –1 is:
[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^-} = \infty, \lim_{x \rightarrow -1^+} = \infty[/tex]
The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
For a vertical asymptote at x = -1, the denominator is zero at -1, hence both lateral limits at x = -1 go to infinity, that is:
[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^-} = \infty, \lim_{x \rightarrow -1^+} = \infty[/tex]
