Question 1199809: State the reciprocal function of f(x)=5x^2 +13x-6 and state the equations of any vertical asymptote(s) of the reciprocal function.
Thanks:)
The reciprocal function is f(x) = .
Vertical asymptotes are where the denominator polynomial has zeroes.
In the denominator, you have a quadratic function.
Its zeroes are the root of this polynomial.
Find the roots using the quadratic formula
= = = .
The roots are -3 and = 0.4 = .
So, vertical asymptotes are x = -3 and x = = 0.4 = .
