$\"\"$

\

The rational function is $\"\"$ .

\

Find the intercepts :

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

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

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Find the intercepts.

\

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

\

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

\

\

$\"\"$ intercepts are $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

\

Find the $\"\"$ intercept by substituting $\"\"$ $\"\"$ in the function.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ intercept is $\"\"$ .

\

\

Find the vertical asymptotes :

\

Find the vertical asymptotes by equating denominator to zero.

\

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

\

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

\

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 the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, horizontal asymptote is the ratio of leading coefficient of numerator and denominator.

\

Leading coefficient of numerator $\"\"$ , leading coefficient of denominator $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ is horizontal asymptote.

\

So the function has horizontal asymptote at $\"\"$ .

\

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 $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, domain $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Domain is $\"\"$ .

\

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

\

The function has horizontal asymptote at $\"\"$ .

\

The graph of the function is
