find vertical asymptotes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm how do i do that? :p

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see when the denominator becomes 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then you wil get 1/0 = infinity, and the funciton increases without any bounds - vertical asymptote

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large - \frac{1}{x-1}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

set the denominator to 0 x -1 = 0 x = 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means, there is oly one vertical asymptote at x = 1 look at ur options and see if u can figure it out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm from the options given only 1 vertical asymptote at x=1 is D. Thanks for the tip! :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! np :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if u wanto do it in limits way, you need to find a's such that :- \( \large \lim \limits_{x \to a} ~f(x) = \pm \infty \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ofcourse it can be one sided limit aswell..
