Answer 2

with you help me with mine before i help you with yours?

Answer 3

because i already know the answer

Answer 4

Is it a recent question you posted?

Answer 5

im about to ask it

Answer 6

I can't promise you I'll know how to solve, but I can try

Answer 7

okay. Brb taking a screen shot

Answer 8

its this one

Answer 11

Never was a big fan of it, failed the class once, pass it the second time online.

Answer 12

You still need help?

Answer 13

Yes I do @manhani

Answer 14

so you set the denominator to equal 0

Answer 15

good so far?

Answer 16

Yes, that's as far as I knew to go.

Answer 17

After that, I didn't know what to do

Answer 18

So what happens when you set 2x^2+9x-5=0?

Answer 19

Wouldn't you try to rid of the 2 in 2x^2 and get x^2 by itself?

Answer 20

you dont have to, and you cant in the particular equation

Answer 21

Because you cant divide 9 or 5 by 2

Answer 22

understand?

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

So what times what will give you -10 and add up to 9

Answer 25

I mean 10 and1

Answer 26

-1*

Answer 27

so its (x+5)(2x-1)=0

Answer 28

ohh

Answer 29

then you solve it from there and plug it in to the original equation to get a#/0 and if you get 0/0 it is not a vertical asym.

Answer 30

So x=-5 and x=1/2

Answer 31

yea and plug it in the original equation to get a #/0 and if you get 0/0 it is not a VA

Answer 32

understand?

Answer 33

Yes I do :)
