Here, we're given a function limit as x approaches 5 of 6 over x minus 5 to the 8th.
00:09
And we want to know, does this have a vertical asymptote at that point, x equals 5? well, by definition, we'll have a vertical asymptote if the limit as x approaches that value from either side is infinity.
00:24
So in this case, it doesn't matter if we go left or right.
00:27
We can go either direction.
00:28
But what i would do first is start off by just plugging it in.
00:32
I'm going to get 6 divided by 0.
00:34
And whenever you do that, the answer is yes, we will have an asymptote if you have a number divided by 0.
00:41
If you get 0 divided by 0, i can't say, i don't know if that's an asymptote or not.
00:46
But anytime you get a number divided by 0, that means you will have an asymptote.
00:53
So now all we have to do is say, well, let's look left and right...
