Question 141585: Find a rational function that has x=4 and x=3 as vertical
Asymptotes, and (-2,0) as an x-intercept Can someone help me?*

The denominator has to be (x-4)(x-3) because when x= 3 or x=4 the denominator will become zero. That is when the vertical asymptote occurs.
The numerator must be zero when x=-2
So the fraction could be (x+2)/((x-4)(x-3))
