SOLUTION: For the following two functions: determine if there are any holes, find all intercepts, find the equation of all asymptotes a) g(x)=(4x+8)/(x^3-4x) b) g(x)=(x^3-2x^2-8x)/(x^2+3

Question 177052: For the following two functions: determine if there are any holes, find all intercepts, find the equation of all asymptotes
a) g(x)=(4x+8)/(x^3-4x)
b) g(x)=(x^3-2x^2-8x)/(x^2+3x)

For the following two functions: determine if there are any holes, find all intercepts, find the equation of all asymptotes
a) g(x)=(4x+8)/(x^3-4x)
Factor to get:
g(x) = [4(x+2)] / [x(x-2)(x+2)]
asymptote: x = 0, x = 2
hole: x= -2
---------------------------------------
b) g(x)=(x^3-2x^2-8x)/(x^2+3x)
g(x) = [x(x-4)(x+2)] / [x(x+3)]
asymptote: x = -3
hole: x = 0
---------------------------------------
