Question

Consider the following function: f (x) = (x − 4)(x + 2) / (x+4)(x+2

1.For what values of x is f(x) continuous? State your answer using interval notation

2.Find the following limits (if they exist)

a. lim f (x) x→ −4

b. lim f(x) x→ −2

3.Does f(x) have any vertical asymptotes? If yes, then write down the equation of the vertical asymptote(s)? Show working or give a reason for your answer.

4.Does f(x) have a horizontal asymptote? If yes, then write down the equation of the horizontal asymptote? Show working or give a reason for your answer.
