Question

Give an example of a rational function that has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 and a vertical asymptote at,
x = 2 and x = 1.

Answer 1

@estudier Could you help me out

Answer 2

Um...1/(x-1)(x-2) ?

Answer 3

@pizzapi do you have an idea?

Answer 4

I need horiz and vertical

Answer 5

What's wrong with the one i just gave you?

Answer 6

Im trying to figure it out i need the work of how to do a Horiz asymptote and Vertical ssmyptote

Answer 7

@estudier

Answer 8

It has vertical at x 1 and 2, horizontal at y 0

As you asked for....

Answer 9

is there any work that goes with it sorry im jut curious s to how its done @estudier I hjust need that and the work :) if any that goes with it

Answer 10

If you have term denominator that is 0 at some value of x, then there is vertical asymptote there.

For horizontal, any function whose value gets infinitely close to 0 with increasing x will do.

Answer 11

So I will saw the example will be 1/(x-1)(x-2)
