Find the value of k if f(x)=x-2/kx^2-2 has a vertical asymptote of -2.

Find the value of k if f(x) = (x-2)/(kx^2-2) has a vertical asymptote of -2.

Please note the added grouping symbols, around the numerator and denominator. These are very important, when typing rational expressions, in order to clearly show what's above and what's below.

Hint: Vertical asymptotes occur at values of x that cause the denominator to equal zero. :cool:

They were supposed to have taught you about vertical asymptotes before assigning homework on them. To replace the missing lesson instruction, try here. Please study at least two lessons from the listing, and then take another look at the hint provided previously.
