Is it possible to have the reciprocal of a cubic function that does not have any vertical asymptotes?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
If the reciprocal has no vertical asymptotes, then the cubic function would have no roots. No such cubic exists.
 
Yeah.. thought so. I guess for all reciprocal functions, there will always be a vertical asymptote.
