Question

PLEASE HELP!
Find the vertical asymptotes, if any.
f(x) = (x-4)/(x(x-4))

Answer 1

Vertical asymptotes are the numbers that aren't in the domain, so in this function, you're dividing. So the only problem i see would be that you cant divide by 0 right?

So set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x

Answer 2

What do you get?

Answer 3

hmm that's true, so is x=0 the only vertical asymptote? Now that I get it, I see 4-4 making a 0, so is x=4 also an asymptote?
btw, I am really appretiating your help!

Answer 4

1/x

Answer 5

@CalebBeavers :D

Answer 6

Yes, when you set it equal to 0 you should get x=0 and x=4. Those are the vertical asymptotes

Answer 7

Thank you very much O very helpful person!
