How You Can (And Should) Get More Practice!

Below is a few practice problems of various difficulty, but you will need considerably more practice than one each. For that reason you should definitely use the green “Try Another” button in the top right corner at least two or three times to complete additional versions of these questions for more practice. You should keep using that button until doing these problems feels straight forward and easy, and then come back after a week or so of doing other stuff and try again to make sure it is still just as easy for you.

Practice Problems

Theoretically Easier Difficulty Problem

Remember that vertical asymptotes occur when you have some kind of “non-zero over zero” type situation happening at a point. Try finding all the domain restrictions as a starting point if you are having trouble.
Determine if the following function has any vertical asymptotes. What is the sum of the values which have vertical asymptotes?
[correct] Very nice! Don’t forget you can hit the green “Try another” button at the top right corner to get new versions of the problems for unlimited practice!

Theoretically Harder Difficulty Problem

Remember that vertical asymptotes occur when you have some kind of “non-zero over zero” type situation happening at a point. Try finding all the domain restrictions as a starting point if you are having trouble.
Specifically, start by factoring the top and bottom functions completely.
Next cancel any common factors to see which restrictions remain. Take limits as approaches those values.
Determine if the following function has any vertical asymptotes. What is the sum of the values which have vertical asymptotes?
