Answer

A vertical asymptote of a function $f(x)$ is a vertical line $x=a$, where $a$ is a value in the vicinity of which, the graph either falls or rises without bound on one or both sides of $x=a.$. In other words, $a$ is such that one or both of the one-sided limits at $a,$ $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow a^{-}}f(x) $ or $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow a^{+}}f(x)$ is one of $\quad -\infty$ ,$\infty.$
