Identify the vertical asymptotes of f(x) = 10/x^2-7x-30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \[x^2-7x-30=0\]

OpenStudy (rayford):

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 \(x\)

OpenStudy (rayford):

oh my god!! i've been doing the wrong problem..

OpenStudy (rayford):

oh my god so much time wasted....

OpenStudy (rayford):

is it x=-10 and x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEP

OpenStudy (rayford):

sorry it took so long..i wondered why it was y lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (rayford):

now that i'm on the right freaking page..may you answer one more?
