like for this equation
f(x) = 9/x^2
please go step by step so i know how to do it
wait, so if its zero does it exist? or how do you know if it exists or not?
Vertical Asymptotes occur where an equation is undefined. For the equation you listed, it would be at x = 0, because that's the only time it's undefined. (You'd be dividing by zero)
Correction: vertical asymptotes are not "where the equation is undefined" because so are "holes in the function".
Vertical asymptotes are where the function APPROCHES a vertical line in shape. In this example, x=0 is a vertical asymptote.
Just look at a graph and figue it out for yourself.
