where is the hole in the function 1/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not so much a hole as it is an asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i already did but how do i find holes like in general I know theres an asymptot at x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they occur when there is a value for x where y would be undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this case just 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks also does it have a slant asymptote? how do i find those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im asking you because your answers are pretty concise and some of teh other stuff ive gotten on the internet is bullpellet or confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do division with polynomials?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/asymtote3.htm this seems pretty concise, but if it isn't divide the numerator by the denominator. the slant asymptote is the part of your answer without anything divided by x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright i think i got it, thanks
