Write the domain and equation of the vertical asymptote of the function f(x)= In(x-2)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well you need to solve x - 2 = 0 as you can't find the log of zero... the solution to the above equation will be the vertical asymptote...

OpenStudy (spareb665):

so x=2? the vertical asymptote equals two?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the vertical asymptote is at x = 2

OpenStudy (spareb665):

and the question asks for the equation that must be x -2 = 0 correct?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

no the equation they are referring to is the equation of the line.... which is x = 2..... this is a line you can draw on the number plane so it has an equation

OpenStudy (spareb665):

Oh the line x=2 is the vertical asymptote

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

correct

OpenStudy (spareb665):

is the domain (in,2)?

OpenStudy (spareb665):

or are they all real numbers?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the asymptote is a real number the graph looks like |dw:1361338222531:dw|
