Question

Which equation represents the vertical asymptote of the graph?

a. x = -8
b. y = -8
c. x = 0
d. y = 0

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

Do you have any clue how to come up with the right answer?

Any ideas?
Explain your response?
(I can teach you if you don't know it)

Answer 3

isnt it -8 because the 2 hyperbolas dont cross -8 they would just continue forever

Answer 4

I am actually not sure, I suck at functions, I would think so, but I don't want to mislead you.
i though I had it, but I don't.....
Sorry for my previous comments.

Answer 5

yea a vertical asymptopte is when the curved lines dont cross a certain point, which seems to be -8 in this case so i would go with that as they curve, and go in opposite directions, aroudn the point of -8

Answer 6

first off you can cross 2 of them out since your looking for the equation for a vertical line.

Answer 7

-8=y or x though?

Answer 8

x coz the x-coordinates are always the same

Answer 9

well graph both of those lines and it should be obvious. think about where y=-8 and x=-8 would lie on the graph and which way they would graph
