Answer

Options C and E are the correct answers.

The two options that are indeed vertical asymptotes of this function include

Step-by-step explanation

Asymptotes are the points on either the x or the y-axis where the graph of the function doesn't touch.

Taking each of the options one at a time, we will know which of them are actually asymptotes.

Option A

x = π

We can see that a line passes through this point,

At x = π, y = 0

This is not an asymptote for this function.

Option B

x = 0

We can see that a line passes through this point,

At x = 0, y = 0

This is not an asymptote for this function.

Option C

x = (3π/2)

We can see that the lines of the function avoid the vertical line of x = (3π/2)

This is an asymptote for this function.

Option D

x = (π/4)

This lies between x = 0 and x = (π/2)

We can see that a line passes through this point,

At x = (π/4), y = -0.5

This is not an asymptote for this function.

Option E

x = (π/2)

We can see that the lines of the function avoid the vertical line of x = (π/2)

This is also an asymptote for this function.

Hope this Helps!!!
