the equation is y = 5%2F%283x%5E2-75%29

3x%5E2+-+75 is the same as 3%2A%28x%5E2-25%29 is the same as 3%2A%28x-5%29%2A%28x%2B5%29

your equation becomes:

y = 5%2F%283%2A%28x-5%29%2A%28x%2B5%29%29

the denominator will be equal to 0 when x = 5 or x = -5.

your equation will be undefined at those values for x.

the graph of your equation looks like this:
