Poles

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview
A pole occurs at fractional polynomials $ f(x)=\dfrac{g(x)}{h(x)}$ if there is a zero of the denominator $ g$ where the nominator $ h$ doesn't vanish.

$ x_0$ ist a pole of $ f$: $ g(x)\ne0$ and $ h(x)=0$.

The graph of $ f$ has a vertical asymptote at the pole.
