ty amis

anonymous · Answer

demoninator factors to (x+8)(x-7) so where they zero is the vertical asymtopes right? so x=-8,7

amistre64 · Answer

as long as the top dont factor the bottoms, the zeros are vas

Thanks Bovice. :)

anonymous · Answer

yes thats how i got it bovis

anonymous · Answer

yeah i have no idea what or even if the numerator will factor....if so it would be something like (2x  )(x  )...

anonymous · Answer

sorry i cant spell bovice!!

amistre64 · Answer
