Find the value(s) of X for which the function has a vertical asymptote. The function is F(x)=(x+2)(x-3)/x(x+6). Are the answer(s) X=-2, X=3, and X=-6?

Question

By my explanation earlier, vertical asymptotes are when there is an undefinable y value for a certain x value.

Which means the only way to find the vertical asymptotes is to equate any denominator of fractions to 0.

Just find x(x+6)=0.

@dauspex so then it would be -6 correct?

anonymous · Answer

That is just one answer.

The other answer is x = 0 also. Don't forget that.
