You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines with equations of the form $\"x=a\"$ . There is a vertical asymptote for every value of x that makes the denominator of your rational function equal zero. All you need to do is solve $\"x%5E2-4=0\"$ . Since this is a quadratic equation, you will have two roots, $\"a%5B1%5D\"$ and $\"a%5B2%5D\"$ , and therefore two vertical asymptotes, $\"x=a%5B1%5D\"$ and $\"x=a%5B2%5D\"$ . It's up to you to figure out the values of $\"a%5B1%5D\"$ and $\"a%5B2%5D\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
