Answer

a. $y=\frac{1}{x-3}$ b. $y=\frac{2x}{x-3}$ c. $y=\frac{x-4}{(x-1)(x+1)}$

Work Step by Step

Give an example of a rational function that has vertical asymptote x= 3. $y=\frac{1}{x-3}$ Now give an example of one that has vertical asymptote x = 3 and horizontal asymptote y=2. $y=\frac{2x}{x-3}$ Now give an example of a rational function with vertical asymptotes x = 1 and x= -1, horizontal asymptote y =0, and x-intercept 4. $y=\frac{x-4}{(x-1)(x+1)}$
