To sketch the function
Answer to Problem 30E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Function:
Calculation for graph:
Consider
Values of x | Values of g(x) |
0 | -1.666 |
1 | -2.5 |
-1 | -1.25 |
2 | -5 |
-2 | -1 |
By taking different values of x, the graph can be plotted.
Graph:
Calculation:
Intercepts:
Let
To find x intercepts, put y = 0,
Here, the answer is wrong. It means that, the given function does not have x intercepts.
To find y intercepts, put x = 0,
So, y intercept is (0, -1.666).
Asymptotes:
Vertical asymptotes:
To find vertical asymptotes, put denominator of the given function equal to zero.
Horizontal asymptotes:
As the degree of numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is
Holes:
Here, the given function contains on
common factor in numerator and denominator i.e.,
To find hole of the function, equate common factor equal to zero.
So, the hole of function is
