I am trying to build a unique rational function that has... 1.) Horizontal asymptote of y=2 2.) Two vertical asymptotes where one is + and one is - 3.) only one x-intercept that is negative 4.) a positive y intercept. can somebody help me.. so far i have Y=2(x-1)^4/(x-2)^2(x+3)^2 or x^2-4??

\[y=\frac{2(x+1)^2}{x^2- 4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes perfect,. THANK YOU :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you sure (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np anytime :P

i could't get it to intersect at a negative x int, but have a pos y int

\[\frac{2(x+1)^3}{(x-2)^2(x+2)}\]
