asked 04/25/20I need help with this!!
Does anyone know how to solve this problem using the FHRATEY method?
F: Factor
Factor numerator and denominator. Cross out any that are the same in the numerator and denominator.
H: Holes
Make sure to plug them in to find the y value.
R: Roots
Make numerator equal to zero and solve
A: Vertical Asymptote
Make denominator equal zero
T: Togetherness
Only for denominator, even exponent means together, odd exponent is apart
E: End Behavior
If dN > dD of the numerator, the HA is zero.
If dN = dD then HA = lN/lD (leading coefficients)
Y: Y Intercepts
Make all x's equal zero and solve.
The problem is this f(x)= 2x-1/x^2

2x-1/x2
F: Factor
Neither the numerator or denominator can be factored
H: Holes
There are no holes. Holes are made when factors cancel out. There are no factors in the numerator and denominator that are the same, no nothing cancels.
R: Roots
Make numerator equal to zero and solve
2x-1=0 Add 1 to both sides
2x=1 Divide both sides by 2
x=1/2
A: Vertical Asymptote
Make denominator equal zero
x=0
T: Togetherness
Only for denominator, even exponent means together, odd exponent is apart
x2 in the denominator, 2 is even. The graph will be together
E: End Behavior
If 1 > 2 of the numerator, the HA is zero.
y=0
Y: Y Intercepts
Make all x's equal zero and solve.
y=2(0)-1/(0)2 No solution, 0 in the denominator. There is no y intercept (This is because the y axis is a vertical asymptote - See part A)
