thaank you kayla :-) ill double though

ok lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to tell if you have an asymtote or a hole, first try to simplify the equation So, you can simplify it down to (x-3)/(x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... the reason why you have an asymtote or a hole at some point is because your function is undefined at that point (if the bottom equals 0, then you can't solve it) So, the question you should ask yourself is at what x does it make the bottom equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... so the denominator is (x-1)*(x-5), it's obviously that either 1 or 5 would make it equal to 0 right? So your function is undefined at those points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since you can simplify and cancel out (x-1) in the equation, you know that at x=1 it'll just just be a hole, while the other one, at x=5 it'll be an asymtote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmm i believe its A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty. great explaining
