There is a removable discontinuity at x = 2 (a "hole"), while there is an infinite discontinuity at x = 3. The graph of f(x) is obtained from y = 1/x by horizontal translation of 3 units to the right, followed by a vertical stretching by a factor of 6, and then a vertical translation by 1 unit, and finally "puncturing" the resulting graph at the point (2,-5).
