Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• a = 3
• b = 4
• c = 2
• d = 1

Explanation:

There are zeros at x=-1 and x=4, so numerator factors of (x +1) and (x -4).

There are vertical asymptotes at x=1 and x = -2, so denominator factors of (x-1) and (x+2).

There is a hole at x=-3, so another numerator factor of (x+3) to cancel the one in the denominator.

Comparing the above to the given expression for f(x) we see that ...

• a = 3
• b = 4
• c = 2
• d = 1
