Okay...this has been racking my head for nearly a day.
I have to reduce f(x) = (x^2-1/x+5 ) - (x+1)/(x-1)
I think I solved it alright and I ended up with (x+1)(x-1)(-x-1)
...but then again, when it comes to math, I'm a g'damn moron.
Anyways, the second part of the question asks for all the values of x where the function has an asymptote.
THERE's NO DENOMINATOR AFTER I FACTORED AND SIMPLIFIED, how is there an asymptote?! So this makes me think that I factored incorrectly.
Also it then asks for the Values of x where f(x) = 0....according to the simplified form I got, I'm gonna get -1, 1, and -1!?!?! can I have two -1?
Then it asks for me to graph...I have no idea.
Someone who knows how to do this help me out...I promise not to come on here with this homework crap anymore.
But this is desperation....
