Plug in values and see which value of x would make it look like \(\frac{things}{0}\).

i tired but did not do well

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

Solve this equation: x + 4 = 0. Then, look at your fraction again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-4

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

@nihalpatel Then there goes your answer - if the value of x makes the denominator zero, it is the asymptote (hole) you're looking for because division by zero is undefined.
