- Discontinuities
Finding discontinuities - vertical asymptotes and holes - of rational functions
Vertical Asymptotes occur when factors in the denominator = 0 and do not cancel with factors in the numerator
-
Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines the graph approaches
- The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = (that number which makes the denominator = 0)
Holes (
Removable Discontinuities ) occur when the factor in the denominator = 0 and it cancels with like factors in the numerator.
- Holes are open "points" so they have an x and y coordinate
- The x-value is the number that makes the cancelled factor = 0.
- The y-value is found by substituting x into the "reduced" equation (
after cancelling) like factors.
Find the vertical asymptotes and holes (if any) for the following. Don't forget that vertical asymptotes are equations and holes are points!
Vertical Asymptote:
Hole: None
Vertical Asymptote: None
Hole: (1,1) since (x-1) was cancelled, the hole is at x=1. To find the y-coordinate, plug 1 into the reduced equation:
Vertical Asymptote:

(x-3) was cancelled, so the hole is at x=3. To find the y-coordinate, plug 3 into the reduced equation:
Vertical Asymptote:
Hole: None
since the vertical asymptote takes care of the hole.
Vertical Asymptote: None
Hole: (-2,-4) since
, (x+2) was cancelled, so the hole is at x = -2. To find the y-coordinate, plug -2 into the reduced equation:
Vertical Asymptotes: None
Holes: (3,3), (0,0) since
, x and (x-3) were cancelled, so the holes are at x=0 and x=3. To find the y-coordinate, plug 0 and 3 into the reduced equation: 0, 3
Vertical Asymptote: None
Hole: (1,3) since
, (x-1) was cancelled, so the hole is at x=1. To find the y-coordinate, plug 1 into the reduced equation:
Vertical asymptote:
since
Hole: (-1,
)
Since (x+1) was cancelled, the hole is at x= -1. To find the y-coordinate, plug -1 into the reduced equation:
