    Lines Vertical
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the function y=ln(x-5)/x, questioning the presence of vertical asymptotes at x=5 and x=0. It is clarified that there is indeed a vertical line at x=5 due to the logarithm being undefined there. However, the function is also undefined at x=0, leading to the conclusion that a vertical line should be recognized at this point as well. The function cannot approach x=0, reinforcing the existence of the vertical asymptote. Overall, both x=5 and x=0 are critical points for this function.

Hello MHB,
I did find a problem in internet
$$y=\frac{ln(x-5)}{x}$$
they say there is a vertical line at $$x=5$$ but should there not also be a vertical line at $$x=0$$?

$$\ln(x-5) $$ is undefined at $x=0$ actually the function cannot get closer to this line.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
