For what values of x, if any, does #f(x) = 1/((x-5)(x+6)) # have vertical asymptotes?
x = 5 , x = -6
Vertical asymptotes occur as the denominator of a rational function tends to zero. To find the equation let the denominator equal zero.
solve: (x - 5 )(x + 6 ) = 0 → x = 5 x = -6 are the equations.
Here is the graph of the function. graph{1/((x-5)(x+6)) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

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.
