SOLUTION: Factor the terms of the rational function to identify vertical asymptotes.
y=x^2-4 over x^2-12x+36
so far: =(x+2)(x-2) over (x-6)(x-6)
where do I go from here?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator goes to 0. So find the values of x that make the denominator zero and you have a possible asymptote.
You factored everything correctly, so the vertical asymptote is at x = 6
You can graph this function here --> http://72.3.253.76/webMathematica3/quickmath/page.jsp?s1=graphs&s2=equations&s3=basic
Or use geogebra or a graphing calulator
