Unit G Summary Question #4 Vertical Asymptote vs. Holes

4. What is the difference between a graph having a vertical asymptote and a graph having a hole?



The difference between a graph having a vertical asymptote and a graph with a hole is that a vertical asymptote demonstrates where the graph will approach in a certain number point. Also the graph can never cross through a vertical asymptote. The graph may be close, but it never touches the graph. A hole, in the other hand, demonstrates what point in the graph has an open circle. Also when plugged into a graphing calculator and the hole is traced there will be no y-value for it due to the hole that it has.
