f(x)=(5x)/(x^2-x-6)

Should render with the triple brace tags as

There is an x-axis intercept at x=0.

Vertical asymptotes are at x=-2 and x=3, at which f is undefined.
Domain is and and .
f approaches 0 as x tends to negative or positive infinity, so the horizontal asymptote is .



to show horizontal asymptote location better,
