Answer

$-\dfrac{x-2}{x^2(x-3)}$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider that the function $f(x)$ is defined om some interval $(a, \infty)$.Then , we have $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} f(x)=L$ This implies that the value of the function $f(x)$ can be defined arbitrarily close to the limit $L$ by taking $x$ sufficiently large. Then, the line $y=L$ is called a horizontal asymptote of the function $y=f(x)$ The equations of vertical and horizontal asymptotes are: $x=3$ and $y=1$ The function can be written as: $f(x)=\dfrac{p(x)}{x^2(x-3)r(x)}=\dfrac{a(x-2)}{x^2(x-3)(1)}$ or, $f(x)=-\dfrac{x-2}{x^2(x-3)}$
