**
The first step is to write the equation in factored form:
y=4/(x^2+3x-10)=4/(x+5)(x-2)
y-intercept: none (because numerator is a constant)
..
x-intercept: set x=0, then solve for y
y=4/-10=-2/5=-.4
..
Horizontal asymptote: lf the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, horizontal asymptote is the x-axis or y=0.
..
Vertical asymptotes: Set denominator=0, then solve for x:
(x+5)(x-2)=0
x=-5
and
x=2
so you have vertical asymptotes at x=-5 and x=2
..
and lastly, draw a number line with the zeros on it:
<...+.....-5.....-.......2.....+......>
This shows from (-∞,-5) the function is>0
Between (-5,2) the function<0
From(2,∞) the function is again>0
..
You now have all the information you need to graph the function.
