Question

TRUE or FALSE
The function has a vertical asymptote at every x-value where its denominator is zero, and the function is always negative between two asymptotes.

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

I think its false

Answer 3

Why?

Answer 4

a function has an asymptote where the function is undefined is true but not every function is negative between two asymptotes think of tangent and its graph

Answer 5

oh wait ! its true b/c the denominator always = 0

Answer 6

so isn't it true @dss08a

Answer 7

the first part of the question is true but the second part is not true for every function, Are they asking this question about a specific function?

Answer 8

no its just a true/false question....
@Luis_Rivera what do you think?

Answer 9

a fraction denominator can never be 0

Answer 10

Why would every function be negative between two asymptotes?

Answer 11

@ChinaGurl ?

Answer 12

yes it does....a vertical asymptote denominator = 0

Answer 13

There are two separate questions here. The first asks about a vertical asymptote and the second question asks about the values of a function BETWEEN asymptotes, right?

Answer 14

if you think of the function tangent the function has positive values for x and y between asymptotes (asymptotes are at every odd multiple of pi/2)

Answer 15

the asymptotes are vertical*
