@MarianoSuárezAlvarez: thanks for coming - the best example is the discussion starting [here](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/4783013#4783013) I wonder if such situations can be avoided somehow. Maybe we can warn them?
@Ilya Ehm, wait :P The question is: since that vertical asymptotes have to be studied in the points that does not belong to the domain, and in this cases -1 and 1 belong to the domain because of =, I have to search anyway the vertical asymptotes?
In any case, any extended discussion regarding Jordan's off-topic ramblings, or anyone else's, for that matter, is offtopic. Jordan's offtopic ramblings have been going on for over a month now, so that certainly qualifies as extended
Anyway, could one of the mods remove the starred message to the right mentioning me? I don't like to be compared with some not-so-nice historical figures.
Got this lovely quotation. Has anyone before seen it: A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
@JM Because I know that this type of asympotes have to be searched in the point where the function is not defined right? But for this function, apparently, there are $\infty$ points where is not defined, that is between -1 and 1.. or I'm wrong (as it seems)?
I don't know. I know that what I said was not very politely phrased, but I surely do not regret anything about the contents of what I said. I never called names or compared somebody to a mass murderer. Then why do I get this?
if someone becomes really disruptive here, in the sense that his or her noise makes it impossible to continue regular chat, flag for mod attention here in chat, so that any mod of any site can intervene
@JonasTeuwen I and everyone else will value the comparison of you with Hilter as coming from who it is coming
@MarianoSuárezAlvarez I guess the stress is on the word really. Some of the mods warned us that after using flag in chat, all mods at SE get the notification.
@JM yes there's a website for it. the author was featured in a popular book and i don't know if it's goobleyjibblegok or if it's actually something worthwhile
@Chandrasekhar Periodic function, so I can work with interval $[0,2\pi]$ instead of real line. It's a continuous function on a compact interval, so it attains it's maximum and minimum.
@MartinSleziak, indeed: I mean: if someone becomes a problem for actual chat to continue (for example, by posting link after link, or something like that) that is somethign that needs to be solved immediately
@unNaturhal If you can express your function $f(x)$ as $n(x)/d(x)$, and $d(x)$ is known to have zeroes, then the zeroes of $d(x)$ might be vertical asymptotes of $f(x)$.
@JohnSmith I've seen the site; unfortunately, it is rather too sparse on the details to say something. We should see what the judges saw before we can say anything.
@Martin: Right, I had more or less the same thought. I was think whether u work on any interval or $R$ they are going to make no difference. didn't think of the periodicity though :(
