To analyze the graph of the function , we can break down its characteristics:
1. As approaches positive or negative infinity (), the term approaches . Thus, the entire function approaches .
2. The vertical asymptote occurs when the denominator is equal to zero. Solving , we find .
- As approaches from the left (values less than 2), is negative and getting closer to . So, approaches positive infinity, and approaches .
- As approaches from the right (values greater than 2), is positive and getting closer to . Therefore, approaches negative infinity, and
