You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Let f(x)= x^2 – 4x –5 / 3x^2 + 2 
 
1. Find the domain. 
Since 3x^2+2 is never zero, the Domain is "all Real Numbers". 
---------------------- 
 
2.Determine the vertical asymptote(s). 
Since 3x^2+2 is never zero, there are no verticla asymptotes. 
---------------------- 
 
3.Determine the horizontal asymptote or oblique asymptote. 
HA: y = x^2/3x^2 = 1/3 
---------------------- 
 
4.Find the y-intercept.  
Let x = 0, then y = -5/2
 
5.Find the x-intercept(s) 
Let y = 0,  
Solve x^2 – 4x –5 =0 
(x-5)(x+1) = 0 
x = 5 or x = -1
