A vertical asymptote is what you get when you try to divide by 0. To find where you get these, you need to look at the denominator and what values of x will make the denominator equal to 0.
In your denominator, you have (x+7)(x-5)(x-3).
What values of x makes (x+7)(x-5)(x-3)=0?
If x = -7, if x = 5, or if x = 3, then that entire expression will equal zero. (Same idea as when you solve equations by factoring.
Now the only place this can get trickier is if one of those factors — one of (x+7), (x-5), or (x-3) — also appears in the numerator. If that happens, then it’s more involved whether you have an asymptote or not. But that doesn’t happen in this example.
So the short version: Asymptotes happen when you try to divide by zero. Dividing by zero is not a good thing. So you just ask yourself, “What will make the denominator 0?”
The answer is
graph A

Hey there!
We want to multiply a certain quantity by 2, so we will put the two outside of parentheses and put our variable (x) minus two inside the parentheses to represent this. This will all equal two.
2(x-6)=2
The unknown number is also 7.
I hope that this helps!
Answer:
x = -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1(x-2) = -5.5
x-2 = -5.5
+2 +2
x = -3.5
