\"\"

\

The function is \"\".

\

Step 1: Find the zeros.

\

\"\"                              (Set \"\")

\

\"\"                                (Simplify)

\

There is a zero at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Step 2: Draw the asymptotes.

\

Find the vertical asymptote.

\

\"\"                     (Set \"\")

\

\"\"     (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                        (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                   (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"                             (Cancel common terms)

\

There is a vertical asymptote at \"\".

\

The degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator.

\

Thus, there is no horizontal asymptote.

\

\"\"

\

Step 3: Draw the graph:

\

Make a table of values.

\ \
\ \
\ \
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"
\

Graph:

\

Graph the function \"\".

\

Plot the points obtained in the table.

\
