identify the vertical asymptotes​ of this function

Question

Use analytical methods and/or a graphing utility to identify the vertical asymptotes (if any) of the following function.
f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals StartFraction x squared minus 10 x plus 16 Over x Superscript 10 Baseline minus 8 x Superscript 9 EndFraction

 

 

Or this may make more sense:

f(x)=x^2-10x+16/x^10-8x^9

Answer 1

f(x) = ((x - 2)(x - 8) / (x⁹(x - 8)

f(x) = (x - 2) / x⁹, for x ≠ 8

 

Now where is the vertical asymptote?
