I can't find the zeros..
For the denominator... I can't solve this. I need to find the VA, HA, intercepts, and any removable discontinuities.
The denominator does not have rational roots so you'll need to estimate it. You can use half interval method to find a close root and approximate a better one.
then how would I find the asymptotes and the intercepts?
Well vertical asymptote occurs whenever f(x) -> infinity or -infinity (i.e. denominator is 0) However, note that the root of the denominator is the vertical asymptote only if when you substitute this into the numerator, the numerator is not 0 as well. Otherwise you get 0/0 case which corresponds to a removable discontinuity. Intercepts: well let x = 0 for y intercept and y = 0 for x intercept. The roots of the numerator are your x intercepts.
