Solution:

Given polynomial is f(x) = (2x2 – 1) / (x2 + 3)

Horizontal asymptote of a function is line y = k where k = Value of f(x) at x tends to infinity.

Vertical asymptote of a function is line x = t where t = Values of x at which function f(x) is undefined.

Now,

Thus, the horizontal asymptote of the given function is y = 2.

Hence, the end behaviors of the given function are .

Since the given function  f(x) = (2x2 – 1) / (x2 + 3), it is defined everywhere as its denominator (x2 + 3)

is non-zero for any real value of x.

Thus, there is NO vertical asymptote of the given function.
