Answer:
find the value of x that makes the denominator zero: x = 7
Explanation:
A vertical asymptote shows up where the denominator is zero. As the denominator gets closer to zero, the function value gets larger without bound (unless there is a numerator factor that cancels the one in the denominator).
To find the value of x at the vertical asymptote, solve the equation ...
denominator = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7 . . . . . . . add 7 to both sides
