I have horizontal asymptote as y=1 and vertical asymptote as x=+/-2. I am having the most trouble with graphing. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! horizontal asymptote is at x=1, because x^2/x^2 is the function at large values of x.
vertical asymptotes at +2 and -2, because that is where the denominator equals 0.
(x+4)(x-3)/(x+2)(x-2) is factored form.
No holes.
Roots are at x=-4 and x=3, because the numerator is 0 AND the denominator is not 0.
