Question

Can someone explain vertical asymptotes to me? Like how to find them and stuff. Im so lost..

Answer 1

You can find vertical asymptotes where the denominator of a rational function is zero. e.g. with \[f(x) = \frac{x+2}{x-7}\] there is a vertical asymptote with the equation x = 7. This is because you can't divide by zero.

Answer 2

so its always the opposite of what is in the denominator's spot? like if its x+3 it'd be x=-3?

Answer 3

Yeah, whatever x-value makes the denominator 0.

Answer 4

Thank you so much
