You can put this solution on YOUR website! y= (6x^2+x-2)/(3x^2+17x+10)
Factor where you can:
6x^2 + x -2 = 6x^2+4x-3x-2 = 2x(3x+2)-(3x+2) = (3x+2)(2x-1)
--------
3x^2 + 17x + 10 = 3x^2 + 15x + 2x + 10 = 3x(x+5) + 2(x+5)= (x+5)(3x+2)
------------
Now the problem can be written as:
y= [(3x+2)(2x-1)] / [(x+5)(3x+2)]
----------------
Because numerator and denominator have a factor of 3x+2 there is a hole at
x=-2/3
----------------
There is a vertical asymptote at x=-5
