How many vertical asymptotes can there be in a rational function?
Factoring is usually helpful in identifying zeros of denominators. If there are not common factors in the numerator and the denominator, the lines x equal the zeros of the denominator are the vertical asymptotes for the graph of the rational function. Example: f(x) = x/(x^2 - 1) f(x) = x/[(x + 1)(x - 1)] x + 1 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 x = -1 or x = 1 Thus, the lines x = -1 and x = 1 are the vertical asymptotes of f.
How many asymptotes can a bounded function have?
I believe the maximum would be two - one when the independent variable tends toward minus infinity, and one when it tends toward plus infinity. Unbounded functions can have lots of asymptotes; for example the periodic tangent function.
How many asymptotes does a hyperbola have?
A hyperbola has 2 asymptotes.www.2dcurves.com/conicsection/​conicsectionh.html
Is the set of rational numbers finite?
No; there are infinitely many rational numbers.
Is 14 a equivalent rational number?
Every rational number is equivalent to infinitely many other rational numbers.
