Question 323837: Find all vertical asymptotes (if any) of the function
f(x) = x/(x^2 - 16)
Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Vertical asymptotes occur at a value of x where the denominator would equal zero and the numerator is NOT zero. In this case,

x^2-16=0
(x-4)(x+4)=0
x=4 and x=-4
