Question 22 • Advanced Financial Algebra

What is the equation for the vertical asymptote of the function y=(x−2)/(x−3)

Answer
A
y is equal to 2
B
x is equal to 3
C
y is equal to 3
D
x is equal to 2

Explanation

A vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero, as long as the numerator is not zero there. For y = (x − 2)/(x − 3), the denominator is zero when x − 3 = 0, so x = 3. The numerator at x = 3 is 1, so the vertical asymptote is x is equal to 3.
