Question 1054729: Please help me determine if this is true or false and why?
A rational function must have at least one vertical asymptote.
How come no vertical asymptote exists when an examination might show that there is one?

Not always. A rational function may be either simplifyable or not, meaning specifically REDUCIBLE as a fraction, or not. If reducible, then this could lead to a missing point or hole in the graph.


Assuming ,

Vertical asymptote for x=c.


NO VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE.
Instead, there is no point in the graph at x=b.
