Topic
Rationals and Radicals
Description
A Vertical Asymptote is defined by the restricted values of x where the function approaches but does not touch. For example, in y = 1/(x - 2), the function is not defined at x = 2, resulting in a vertical asymptote at that point. This term relates to rational expressions by identifying points of discontinuity, which are critical in understanding the behavior of rational functions.
Understanding this video is essential for grasping the fundamentals of Rationals and Radicals. The mathematical concepts explored here form the basis for further exploration and application in related fields.
Teacher's Script: "Today, we will delve into an important concept that helps us simplify and solve complex problems in mathematics. This video introduces the concept of a Vertical Asymptote and shows how it applies in various scenarios. Pay close attention to how the examples are worked out."
