in simple words for a rational function Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes of the denominator
OpenStudy (rayford):
ok i'm with you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so find out the zeros of denominator and we're done
OpenStudy (rayford):
wait! how do you find the zeros?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
man solve this
\[x^2-7x-30=0\]

wait...i got y=1/2 am i correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope...thats a quadratic equation..solve it by factorization or quadratic formula
OpenStudy (rayford):
y=2....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve for \(x\)
