What are vertical asymptotes in association with limits?

Using the example above, as x gets closer to 3, the points on the graph get closer to the vertical line x = 3 (seen as a dashed line on the graph below). This line is called a vertical asymptote. The following charts shows four of the vertical asymptotes for the given function f(x) and their notations.
