Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = \infty$$

$$\lim_{x \to \infty} \sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = \infty$$
Let's take the limit
so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty} \sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = \infty$$
Let's take the limit

so,
horizontal asymptote on the right doesn’t exist
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of sqrt(x^2 - 2*x + 1), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1}}{x}\right) = -1$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = - x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1}}{x}\right) = 1$$

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = - x$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1}}{x}\right) = 1$$
Let's take the limit

Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = \sqrt{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}$$
- No
$$\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = - \sqrt{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
So, check:
$$\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = \sqrt{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}$$
- No
$$\sqrt{\left(x^{2} - 2 x\right) + 1} = - \sqrt{x^{2} + 2 x + 1}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
