PLEASE HELP FAN AND MEDAL!!

Create a rational function with a linear binomial in both the numerator and denominator. Y=(x-1)/(x-1) Part 1. Graph your function using technology. Include the horizontal and vertical asymptotes and the x- and y-intercepts on your graph. Label the asymptotes and intercepts. There are no asymptotes, nor x-intercepts. The y-intercept is at y=1. Part 2. Show all work to identify the vertical asymptote, the x-intercepts, and the y-intercept. I need help with part two

@IMStuck can you help?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

you answered--There are no asymptotes, nor x-intercepts. The y-intercept is at y=1. in part 1 if there are no There are no asymptotes. there are no vertical asymptotes so show no work for that. y intercept--when x is 0, y=1 when y is 0 would have to be 1 but it is undefined at that point, because i twould make the denominator 0.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

There is an asymptote, where x = 0 in the denomiator. That is the vertical asymptote. Since the power of the x in the numerator equals the power of the x in the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is the line y = a/b, a being the coefficiennt on the x in the numerator, 1, b being the coefficient on the x in the denominator, also 1. So the line for the horizontal asymptote is y = 1.

Thanks @zpupster and @IMStuck . Can y'all help with one more?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

post it please

Using the equation below as a model, fill in numbers in the place of a and b to create a rational equation that has an extraneous solution. Part 1. Show all work to solve for x in the equation and check the solution. Part 2. Explain how to identify the extraneous solution and what it means. I don't know what equation it is talking about. I dont see one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found the equation. Hang on let me type it in.
