![a. let y = (((x+1)^2 (x−3)^2 )/((x−1)^2 (x−4))) y−intercept , x = 0 y = (((0+1)^2 (0−3)^2 )/((0−1)^2 (0−4)^(2 ) )) = (9/(16)) point (0,(9/(16))) x−intercept, y = 0 0 = (((x+1)^2 (x−3)^2 )/((x−1)^2 (x−4)^2 )) [(x + 1)(x−3)]^2 = 0 x = −1 or x = 3 point (−1,0) and (3,0) b. Vertical asymptotes (x−1)^2 (x−4)=0 either (x−1)^2 =0 ⇒ x = 1 ∨ x = 4 Horizontal asymptote lim_(x→∞) f(x) = ∞ hence no horizontal asymptote. c. domain = vertical asympotes](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q78681.png)
