Question

Find the vertical asymptote of the following function:

y = 2x + 3
________
x−4

Select the appropriate response
A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 8

Answer 1

B) 4

Explanation:

Vertical asymptote occurs at the point on which the denominator becomes zero

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

Answer 2

Vertical asymptote at x=4

Explanation:

y = (2x+3)/(x-4)

This function has a vertical asymptote where the denominator goes to zero

x-4 =0

x =4
