2. Suppose $f(x)$ is a rational function with leading term -1, has three roots: a root at $x = -2$ of degree 1, a root at $x = 0$ of degree 1, and a root at $x = 1$ of degree 1, $f(x)$ also has a vertical asymptote at $x = -1$ of degree 3.

Step 1
Step 1: Since $f(x)$ has a root at $x = -2$ of degree 1, the numerator of $f(x)$ must have a factor of $(x + 2)$. Show more…

Suppose $f$ is a rational function with roots at $x=1$ and $x=3,$ a hole at $x=-1,$ a vertical asymptote at $x=2,$ and a horizontal asymptote at $y=-1$. (a) Sketch three possible graphs of $f$. Make the graphs as different as you can while still having the given characteristics. (b) Write down the equations of three functions $f$ that have the given properties. (Your equations do not have to match your graphs from part (a).)
