Question

State the vertical asymptote of the rational function.
f(x) = (x-6)(x+6) / x^2 - 9

Answer 1

Do you know what a vert. asym is?

Answer 2

Sorta

Answer 3

If I'm not mistaken, this is where you set the denominator = to 0 and solve, right?

Answer 4

Think so

Answer 5

Well then do that:
Solve x^2-9=0

Answer 6

3 ?

Answer 7

+3, -3 ?

Answer 8

that is correct

Answer 9

There you go

Answer 10

Thanks guys (:

Answer 11

make

x^2 - 9=0

solve for x and those are your 2 asymptotes

Answer 12

never hurts to have a graph

Answer 13

OOH also your vertical asymptote is another way of saying where x is undefined :)
