Question 909042: +Let+r%28x%29+=+%288x+++-+++8%29%2F%28x+%2B+2%29+
Find the intercepts and asymptotes. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
So I need to understand how to find the:
x-intercept
y-intercept
Vertical asymptote
Horizontal asymptote
Graph of the function r
Domain:
Range:
Please help,
Thank you

Very much recommend using a graphing calculator

Picture worth a thousand words

Domain(x-values) (-2, ∞)
Range (y-values) (−∞, 8)
algebraically
x-intercept (y = 0)
y-intercept(x = 0)
Vertical asymptote: x = -2 (Denominator ≠ 0) x ≠ -2
Horizontal asymptote : y = 8
+Let+r%28x%29+=+%288x+++-+++8%29%2F%28x+%2B+2%29+=+%288+-+8%2Fx%29%2F%281+%2B+2%2Fx%29
as x becomes large: r(x) approaches 8
