asymptotes

What is the Vertical Asymptote? 

• x= -5
• x= 5
• x= 6
• x= -6

Find the vertical asymptotes and holes of the function.

• Holes: None;

  VA: x = 1, -3

• Holes: x = -3;

  VA: x = 1

• Holes: x = -3, 1

  VA: None

• Holes: x = 1

  VA: x = -3

Where is there a hole on the graph of the function?

• x = 2

• x = -2

• There are no holes.

• x = 5

A hole occurs when....

• Where the denominator equals 0

• A factor from the numerator cancels with a factor in the denominator.
• The degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator.
• The denominator cannot be factored.

What are the Vertical Asymptotes of...

• horizontal asymptote
• holes
• slant asymptote

• No vertical asymptotes.

• One vertical asymptote: x = 4

• Two vertical asymptotes: x = -3 and x = -7

• Three vertical asymptotes:  x = -3, x = 4, and x = -7

• none

• none

• none
