Answer:
2 vertical asymptotes occurring at x = 5 and x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
given
recall that asymptotic occur at the locations that will make the equation undefined. In this case, the asymptote will occur at x-locations which will cause the denominator to become zero (and hence undefined)
Equating the denominator to zero,
(x-5)(x+1) = 0
(x-5) =0
x = 5 (first asymptote)
or (x+1) = 0
x = -1 (2nd asymptote)
