Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Problem 1. Set the denominator equal to zero and solve. For any value

in the solution set,

is the equation of a vertical asymptote so long as

is NOT a factor of the numerator.

Problem 2. Find any binomial factors

that are common to both numerator and denominator of your rational function. Set each of such factors equal to zero and solve. The solution(s) will represent the

coordinates of holes in the function.
