For what values of x, if any, does #f(x) = 1/((x+12)(x-1)) # have vertical asymptotes?
vertical asymptotes x = -12 , x = 1
Vertical asymptotes occur as the denominator of a rational function tends to zero. To find the equation/s set the denominator equal to zero.
solve: (x+12)(x-1) = 0 → x = -12 , x = 1 are the asymptotes. graph{1/((x+12)(x-1) [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
