I need a rational function that has at least one asymptote and possibly a removable discontinuity. I just can't manage to think of one

OpenStudy (3mar):

What do you mean by "possibly a removable discontinuity."??

OpenStudy (brokenstanzas):

Meaning there doesn't have to be a removable discontinuity in the equation but there can be @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

What about these, sister!? Pick you. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/smppkctxwl

@brokenstanzas

OpenStudy (danjs):

for a removable discontinuity, you can use a piecewise function.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for the medal!

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\large f(x) = \frac{ (x-3)(x+4) }{ (x-3) (x-8) }\]has a hole at x=3 which is really a removable discontinuity, and a vert asymptote at x=8.

OpenStudy (brokenstanzas):

@agent0smith Thank you!!

OpenStudy (leenathan):

please close this question so that the system wont have to work as hard

OpenStudy (3mar):

@agent0smith Really I thank you!! This is what she was looking for!
