Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the vertical asymptote of the curve:
We need to determine when the denominator becomes zero because a vertical asymptote occurs when the denominator is zero and the numerator is not zero at the same point.
The denominator of the given function is:
Let's solve for :
- First, rewrite the equation:
- Multiply both sides of the equation by to eliminate the negative exponent:
This simplifies to:
- Divide both sides by 19:
- Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides:
- Solve for :
Thus, the vertical asymptote is:

Tip: When solving for vertical asymptotes, always ensure that the numerator is not zero at the same point where the denominator is zero. This ensures a true asymptote rather than a hole in the graph.
