Question 144521: Please help me with this :
The denominator in a rational function defines that functions:
a) zeroes
b) horizontal asymptotes
c) vertical asymptotes
d) slant asymptotes
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The answers are c and d.
c because the zeroes of the denominator determine vertical asymptotes
d because, if the degree of the denominator is less than the degree
of the numerator, the function will have a slant asymptote.
