Find the vertical asymptotes, if any, of the graph of the rational function. f(x)=x (div) x+5

OpenStudy (turingtest):

x/(x+5) you mean?

OpenStudy (dcolley):

yes

OpenStudy (dcolley):

yes

OpenStudy (turingtest):

then as x approaches -5 the denominator gets closer to 0, which makes the graph f(x) go towards infinity. The vertical asymptote is then x=-5

OpenStudy (turingtest):

did that make sense?
