Graph the rational function Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first try to factor the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if I get this wrong. (-x-4)(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is not easily factorable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well we could find the asymtotes that is the zeros of the denom inator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. so do i substitute the x in the denominator for zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3.4 , -0.58

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the zeros

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no u need to do this x+2 = 0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so x=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the asymtote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u need to make a graph and draw the asymtote and the zeros

OpenStudy (anonymous):
