Write an equation for a rational function with: Vertical asymptotes at x = 1 and x 2 x intercepts at x = -5 and x = 5 Horizontal asymptote at y = 8

During a nine-hour snowstorm, it snows at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the first 2 hours, at a rate of 2 inches per hour for the next 6 hours, and at a rate of 0.5 inch per hour for the final hour. Write and graph a piecewise-defined function that gives the depth of the snow during the snowstorm. How many inches of snow accumulated from the storm?

For the fallowing exercises, find the x- and y-intercepts of the graphs of each function. 11. f(x)=2x+1+6
