Please i need some help

Try to limit 1 question per post

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[y=\frac{ 4x^2+12x }{ x^2+x-6 }\] so lets do this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#6? ok

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Vertical asymptotes are where the function is undefined so solve for the denominator \[x^2-x-6\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Simply factor the expression and it will give you your VA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got -2 and 3

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's x^2+x-6 not x^2-x-6 oops

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So it's the other way around, x = 2 and x = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its either C or B but how do you tell a difference

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What are you solving for when you factor, it's in the post befor elol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to say that C is the correct one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If your expression is x equal to a number, it is a vertical line since the x value is fixed while the y value can be anything. If it's y equals a number, it is a horizontal line. B is giving two vertical lines while C is giving two horizontal lines. Also, to find the asymptotes you set the denominator equal to zero and solve, so your equations would come out like this: x^2+x-6=0 (x-2)(x+3)=0 x=2 and x=3 are the equations of your asymptotes.

So it was B thank you
