Write an equation for a rational function with the given characteristics.
Vertical asymptote at
x = 4,
double zero at
x = 1,
y-intercept at
(0, 3)

y =

Respuesta :

The vertical asymptote requires a factor of (x-4) in the denominator.

The double zero requires a factor of (x-1)² in the numerator.

At x=0, these factors will give a value of (-1)²/(-4) = -1/4, so another constant factor of -12 is needed to make the y-intercept be 3.

Your rational function is ...

... y = -12(x -1)²/(x -4)
