Tutorial Exercise Find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes of the curve. y = - x2 + 4 10x - 79x - 8 Step 1 To find the vertical asymptotes, we look for x-values for which the function becomes infinite. This means for the given function x2 + 4 10x2- 79x - 8 we should find where the denominator equals 0. We therefore equate the denominator to 0, and factor. 0 = 10x2- 79x - 8 = (10x + 1)(x - Solving gives us X = (smaller value) X (larger value). Submit Skip (you cannot come back)
