Question

At which value of x does the graph of the function F(x) have a vertical asymptote?

Answer 1

x = -8 & x = 3

Explanation:

Vertical asymptote occur when denominator is 0.

So to find the x-values, we need to middle term factor the denominator. Shown below:

`x^2+5x-24\\=(x+8)(x-3)\\x=3, -8`

Thus, at x = 3 and at x = -8 -- there is vertical asymptote.
