Write an equation for a rational function with the given characteristics. Vertical asymptotes at x=−1 and x=4 , x -intercepts at (−6,0) and (3,0) , horizontal asymptote at y=−3

Question

Im at a loss here.. thought the answer was : f(x) = -3(x+6)(x-3)/(x+1)(x-4) But it isnt taking it so i have no idea..

Answer 1

graph your solution

it shows you are correct

use a graphing calculator

Answer 2

The function -3(x+6)(x-3) / ( (x+1)(x-4) ) does have the properties stated.

Maybe you are not entering it correctly in the answer box? Notice the parentheses around the denominator.
