indicate the general shape of the following rational function by finding
(1) the vertical asymptote VA,
Solve x+2 = 0 ; x = -2 is a vertical asymptote.
---------------------------------------------------
(2) the horizontal asymptote HD,
y = (3x)/(x) = 3
y = 3 is the horizontal asymptote.
-------------------------------------------
(3) x and Y intercepts:
x-intercept = ?
Let y = 0
Solve 3x = 0
x = 0 is the x-intercept
-----------------------------
y-intercept = ?
Let x = 0
Then 3*0/(0+2) = 0/2 = 0
y = 0 is the y-intercept
==========================
y=3x/x+2
============
