What is a hole in the Graph? • Vertical Asymptotes occur where the • Example: Determine the domain of the below: • So 5 is NOT a zero , is there a VA? • Let’s use the Calc Table to find the limit: • Limit = 0.4, not plus or minus infinity • BUT f(5) is undefined • This is an OPEN POINT or Hole in the graph at (5,0.4)
Example: Estimate VA’s and Holes in graph for the below function
General Rule: VA’s and Holes in Graph • Shared (cancelled) factors in the denominator produce an open point (hole) • Uncancelled factors in the denominator produce VA’s • Draw the graph for the previous example using the table, VA’s and open point
CFU • To find the y-coord, you can also plug in the x-value into the remaining portion of the function
