Answer
x-intercepts are -1, and 1
y-intercept is 1/4
vertical asymptotes are x=-2 and x=2
horizontal asymptote is y=1
Work Step by Step
from the graph, it is observed that the curve meets the x-axis at two points, -1 and 1 and the curve meets the y-axis at one point, 1/4
from the graph, it is obvious that the graph intersects the vertical line x=-2 and x=2 at an infinite distance.
so the vertical asymptotes are x=-2 and x=2
similarly, the curve intersects the horizontal line y=1 at an infinite distance
so the horizontal asymptote is y=1
