How do you find the asymptotes for #(2x - 4) / (x^2 - 4)#? Precalculus Functions Defined and Notation Asymptotes 1 Answer Mark D. Apr 26, 2018 #x=-2# Explanation: if you factorise : #[2(x-2)]/[(x-2)(x+2)]# #x-2# cancels #2/(x+2)# If #x=-2# then we will have zero as the denominator so this would give the asymptote Answer link Related questions What is an asymptote?
