Explanation & Answer

For a horizontal asymptote you need a limit as x goes to infinity in both directions

For no roots you must not have any solutions that equal zero

For two vertical asymptotes you need a factorable quadratic function in the denominator that creates two zeros.

This function satisfies all the requirements:

(2x^2 + 1) / (x^2 - 4)
