Answer:


x-6 \\eq 0

And from this condition we have that:


x \\eq 6

So then the function is not defined for
x=6 and we will have and asymptote in the function for this value of x and would be defined in the rest of the values of x

Explanation:

We assume that we have the following expression:


(x-4)/(x-6)

So then we have a rational expression and we want to find for which value of x the function is not defined. And we can focus for this case in the denominator since we can't divide by 0. So then we can create the following rule:


x-6 \\eq 0

And from this condition we have that:


x \\eq 6

So then the function is not defined for
x=6 and we will have and asymptote in the function for this value of x and would be defined in the rest of the values of x
