Which equation describes a rational function with x-intercepts at –4 and 2, a vertical asymptote at x = 1 and x = –1, and a horizontal asymptote at y = –3?

Answer:
Fourth Option
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the numerator
x + 4 = 0, x = -4
x = -4 becomes the x intercept
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
Like the question says the two intercepts are x = -4 and x = 2
Now consider the denominator, which will help find the vertical asymptote
x^2 - 1. x = +1, x = -1
Like the question says the vertical asymptote is x=1 and x = -1
The horizontal asymptote is right next to the parentheses
The equation that describes a rational function with the given data is in option D.
A function is a law that relates a dependent and an independent variable.
The rational function that has x intercepts at -4 and 2 is option D
f(x) = ( -3 (x+4) (x-2) /(x²-1))
(x+4) (x-2) = 0
x = -4 , 2
The vertical asymptote is determined by the denominator
x² -1 = 0
x = ±1
x = +1 , x = -1
The horizontal asymptote is determined
y = -3
