Question we had difficulty with:

Webwork 17, Assignment 4

For Webwork 5, Assignment 4, there are two asymptotes due to the 2nd order denominator. One of the asymptotes is -5 (factored out the denominator is (2x-3)(x+5)), but the numerator also contains (x+5) as a zero. Is this point, x=-5 an asymptote or a point of discontinuity?
