81-86 End Behavior
Graph the rational function, and find all vertical asymptotes, x- and y-intercepts, and local extrema, correct to the nearest tenth. Then use long division to find a polynomial that has the same end behavior as the rational function, and graph both functions in a sufficiently large viewing rectangle to verify that the end behaviors of the polynomial and the rational function are the same.
