Show all work for full credit! No graphing calculators are allowed on this fiesta.
1. Construct a rational function that satisfies the following conditions:
Vertical Asymptotes at: -3, 1, 2, 3
Jump at -1
Horizontal Asymptote at 3
Give reasons for your answer.

2. Use the sketching guidelines you learnt in class to discuss the rational function:

x4 1
r ( x) = 3
.
x + 3x 2 4

Factor completely whenever possible

Determine the domain
Find all intercepts
Find all asymptotes/describe end behavior
Study the sign
Collect a few additional points
Sketch the graph of the function
