Problem
How many vertical asymptotes does the graph of have?
Solution
There are factors of and in both the numerator and denominator, and the factors in the denominator cancel the factors in the numerator, so the graph has a hole at and
There are two factors of in the denominator, so there is a vertical asymptote at There are five factors of in the numerator, and 11 factors of in the denominator, so there is a vertical asymptote at
Hence, there are vertical asymptotes.
There are two factors of in the denominator, so there is a vertical asymptote at There are five factors of in the numerator, and 11 factors of in the denominator, so there is a vertical asymptote at
Hence, there are vertical asymptotes.
Final answer
