\

The rational function is $\"\"$ .

\

The rational function can be written as $\"\"$ .

\

Find the intercepts.

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Change $\"\"$ to $\"\"$ . \ \

\

$\"\"$ .

\

To find $\"\"$ intercept, equate numerator to $\"\"$ .

\

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$ $\"\"$ \ \

\

$\"\"$ intercept are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

There is no $\"\"$ intercept because $\"\"$ is undefined for $\"\"$ . \ \

\

No $\"\"$ intercept.

\

\

Find the vertical asymptotes.

\

Find the vertical asymptote by equating denominator to zero.

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

So the function has vertical asymptotes at $\"\"$ .

\

Find the horizantal asymptote.

\

To find horizontal asymptote, first find the degree of the numerator and degree of the denominator.

\

Degree of the numerator $\"\"$ and degree of the denominator $\"\"$ .

\

Since the degree of numerator is greater than degree of denominator, there is no oblique asymptote.

\

\

There is no horizantal asymptote. \ \

\

Find the domain :

\

The domain of a function is the set of all real numbers which makes the function mathematically correct.

\

Denominator of a function should not be $\"\"$ .

\

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

Thus, the function is continuous for all real numbers except $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore domain is $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Domain is $\"\"$ .

\

The function has vertical asymptotes at $\"\"$ and $\"\"$

\

There is no horizantal asymptote.

\

The graph of the function $\"\"$ is
