Question

Vertical asymptotes can be found by setting the:

a. denominator not equal to 0
b. numerator equal to 0
c. none of these choices are correct
d. numerator not equal to 0
e. denominator equal to 0

Answer 1

last one

Answer 2

how do you know

Answer 3

Yeah it's the last one because the vertical asymptote is what makes a given function "undefined".

It's like the number that makes you divide by 0

Answer 4

because the denominator determines your vertical asymptotes, your numerator determines your x-intercepts. simple as that.

Answer 5

"Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes of the denominator of a rational function."
The values that make your denominator zero are vertical asymptotes that's why you shouldn't make it equal to that values by putting a sign "not equal to"
