PLEASE HELP!
Find the vertical asymptotes, if any.

anonymous · Answer

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

What do you get?

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!

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