\(y=\frac{20}{1+9e^{3x}} \\~\\ y(1 + 9e^{3x})=20 \\~\\ 1 + 9e^{3x}=\frac{20}{y} \\~\\ 9e^{3x}=\frac{20}{y}-1 \\~\\ 9e^{3x}=\frac{20-y}{y} \\~\\ e^{3x}=\frac{20-y}{9y} \\~\\ 3x=\ln(\frac{20-y}{9y}) \\~\\ x=\frac{\ln(\frac{20-y}{9y})}{3}\)

 

There is an asymptote when   9y  =  0   which is when   y = 0

 

There is an asymptote when   \(\frac{20-y}{9y}\)  =  0   which is when   y = 20
