T(w)=Change Y(w) to y and w to x y = That has a vertical asymptote. Set denominator = 0 x-1 = 0 x = 1 So here is the vertical asymptote: It has no horizontal asymptote because the numerator's largest power of x (its degree) which is 2 is larger that the denominator's largest power of x (its degree) with is 1. However since the degree of the numerator is exactly one more than the degree of the denominator, it has a slanted or "oblique" asymptote. We find that by long division: x+3 x-1)x²+2x+4 x²- x 3x+4 3x-3 7 So y = x+3 + And the fraction gets smaller and smaller as x gets larger and larger either positively or negatively, so the curve approaches just being like the line y = x+3 ignoring the remainder or denominator. So we draw the slant asymptote y = x+3 The y-intercept is gotten by substituting x=0 y = y = y = y = -4 So the y-intercept is (0,-4). There is no x-intercept because the numerator is never zero. So we plot the y-intercept and get a few more points, maybe (8,12),(-6,-4), (2,12), (-4,-2.4), (3,9.5), (-1,-1.5). and draw the graph: Edwin
