Answer 2

try with a couple of sample points on both sides of x = 0.
E.g -5, -2, -1, 1, 2, 5
Is the function defined at x = 0?

Answer 3

I don think it is

Answer 4

Correct, so if it is not defined at x=0, then you have a vertical asymptote.

Answer 5

did you try plot the sample points ?

Answer 6

I don't have graph paper with me but ima try it in paint

Answer 7

a parabola I think

Answer 8

no, not a parabole.
You done need graph paper, just make draw x/y coordinate on a blank paper, add 5 units in each direction, fill in the sample points
f(-5) = 10/-5 = -2
f(-2) = 10 / -2 = -5
f(-1) = 10 / -1 = -10
f(1) = 10 / 1 = ?
f(2) = 10 / 2 = ?
f(5) = 10 / 5 = ?

Answer 9

uh sorry I don't understand?

Answer 10

Not the best, but it gives an idea of what the graph looks like, with just a few sample points on each side of x = 0
