Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around identifying the vertical asymptotes of the function tan(x)/x, with a focus on the implications of the function's behavior at specific points, particularly x = 0.
Discussion Character
- Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- The original poster attempts to confirm their understanding of vertical asymptotes, suggesting x = (π(2n+1))/2 as potential asymptotes. Other participants question the absence of a vertical asymptote at x = 0 and explore the reasoning behind this observation.
Discussion Status
The discussion includes attempts to clarify the conditions under which vertical asymptotes occur, with some participants affirming the original poster's assertion while others seek to understand the specific case of x = 0. There is an exchange of confirmations regarding the correctness of the original poster's answer.
Contextual Notes
Participants are navigating the implications of limits and the behavior of the function at critical points, particularly in relation to the definition of vertical asymptotes.
