Identify the function given: \( f(x) = \frac{-5x}{(2x-3)^2} \). This is a rational function where the numerator is \(-5x\) and the denominator is \((2x-3)^2\).
To find vertical asymptotes, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for \(x\). This means solving \((2x-3)^2 = 0\).
Solve the equation \((2x-3)^2 = 0\) by taking the square root of both sides, which gives \(2x-3 = 0\).
Solve for \(x\) in the equation \(2x-3 = 0\) by adding 3 to both sides and then dividing by 2, resulting in \(x = \frac{3}{2}\). This is the location of the vertical asymptote.
Check for holes by seeing if any factor cancels out in the numerator and denominator. Since \(-5x\) and \((2x-3)^2\) have no common factors, there are no holes in the function.
