Question 80694: The maximum number of vertical asymptotes a rational function can have is infinite.
True
False

True.
If (x-a) is a factor in the denominator and (x-a) is not a factor
in the numerator there will be a vertical asymptote for every possible
Real value of "a". Since there are infinitely many values a can take
there are infinitely many possible vertical asymptotes.
