Question

What is the equation of the vertical aytmptote when the equation is f(x)=2/x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2/x-5

=2/(5)-5

=2/0

=undefined

Answer 2

Answer:

x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For maximum clarity please write this function as

              2

f(x) = ------------

            x - 5

The vertical asymptote is at x = k, where k is the x value that makes the denominator of this fraction be zero.

In this particular problem, the denominator is zero at x = 5, and so the equation of the vertical asymptote here is x = 5.
