Question

Please help I need to pass math
what is the vertical asympote for the graph of y=x-2/(x-2)(x+3)

Answer 1

First, simplify the fraction.

Answer 2

How would I do that

Answer 3

the (x - 2) in the denominator can cancel out the (x - 2) in the numerator. What does the fraction look like after that?

Answer 4

It would just be x+3?

Answer 5

Remember, there's an unshown (I don't think that's a word, but oh well.) one on the top.

Answer 6

X/x+3

Answer 7

It's a 1, so it would be
1
y = ----
x +3

Answer 8

Ohh now I have to get the x by itself

Answer 9

So multiply by 1?

Answer 10

No, you don't. The vertical asymptote is the value of x that makes the denominator equal 0.
x + 3 = 0
Find x. There's your answer.

Answer 11

X=-3

Answer 12

There you go!
