Algebra-2

1. Factorize the denominator:

.

So .

2. Vertical Asymptote:

Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero and the numerator is not zero at the same point.

Setting the denominator equal to zero gives  or .

When , the numerator is also zero as . So  is not a vertical asymptote.

Conclusion: False.

3. Hole:

A hole occurs where a factor in the numerator and a factor in the denominator cancel out.

Here,
