Question

please help.vertical asymptotes of f(x)=-4/x^2-3x-4

Answer 1

Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator is 0. So factor the denominator. Set each factor equal to 0 and find the x values that cause the factor to be 0. The vertical lines through those x values are the vertical asymptotes.

Answer 2

for example: your denominator has these factors:
(x-4)(x+1)
If x-4=0 x=4 so x=4 is a vertical asymptote.
If x+1=0, x=-1 so x=-1 is also a vertical asymptote.

Answer 3

is it -1 and 4?

Answer 4

x=-1 and x=4 The asymptotes are lines. You must give their equations.
