Question

Every rational equation has an associated vertical asymptote.
Select one:
True
False

Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

i was thinking false

Answer 3

to get a vertical asymptote you need to divide by zero (or at least get very close to dividing by zero). this means you need your variable to be in the "bottom" of the fraction

a rational equation may not have an x in the bottom.

so it is false

Answer 5

yes, false (unless your lesson defines rational equation differently than most people)

Yes, I was a little suspicious. but not enough!
