**Graphing Rational Functions**
In this exercise, we are provided with a function \( f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 3 \). We are instructed to find and graph several key features of this function, including domain, intercepts, asymptotes, extrema, and inflection points.
### Function Analysis
Given function: \( f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 3 \)
1. **Domain**:
\[
\text{Domain: } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
The domain is the set of all possible input values \( x \) that do not cause the function to be undefined.
2. **x-intercept(s)**:
\[
\text{x-intercept(s): } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
These are the points where the function \( f(x) \) crosses the x-axis, where \( f(x) = 0 \).
3. **y-intercept(s)**:
\[
\text{y-intercept(s): } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
These are the points where the function \( f(x) \) crosses the y-axis, where \( x = 0 \).
4. **Vertical Asymptotes** and the **limit** approaching the vertical asymptote from each side:
\[
\text{Vertical Asymptotes: } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero and the function value approaches infinity.
5. **Horizontal Asymptote**:
\[
\text{Horizontal Asymptote: } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
The horizontal asymptote is the value that the function approaches as \( x \) approaches infinity.
6. Points on the graph corresponding to local **extrema** (max or min?):
\[
\text{Local Extrema: } \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
\]
Local extrema are the local maximum or minimum points on the function.
