    Section 2.6
    Question 24

    20210924_154735.jpg

    Part (a)

    Let R = all real numbers.

    Domain = R except for t = 0.

    Part (b)

    Our t-intercept is the line t = 1/2.
    When t = 0, f(t) is undefined. So,
    no f(t)-intercepts.

    Part (c)

    Vertical Asymptote: t = 0.

    Top degree = bottom degree.
    So, our horizontal asymptote is -2/1 or simply -2.

    Part (d)

    Sketch by hand:

    Wish I had more time to graph by hand. It's fun to draw graphs on the xy-plane.
