Solution

To answer each part, I’ll outline what is generally involved in determining these characteristics from a graph. If you can upload the graph image, I can provide a detailed, precise response based on the specific function shown. Here’s a general approach:

Steps to Solve:

  1. Domain and Range:

    • Domain is the set of all xx-values for which the function is defined. On a graph, it is determined by the leftmost and rightmost points of the curve, as well as any gaps or vertical asymptotes.
    • Range is the set of all yy-values the function attains. It is determined by the lowest and highest points the graph reaches and any horizontal asymptotes.
  2. Intercepts:

    • xx-intercepts occur where the function crosses the xx-axis (i.e., where y=0y = 0).
    • yy-intercepts occur where the function crosses the yy-axis (i.e., where x=0x = 0).
  3. Horizontal Asymptotes:

    • Look for any horizontal lines the graph approaches as xx \to \infty or xx \to -\infty.
  4. Vertical Asymptotes:

    • Look for any vertical lines the graph approaches but never crosses. Vertical asymptotes typically occur where the function is undefined due to division by zero.
  5. Oblique Asymptotes:

    • If the function does not have a horizontal asymptote and instead approaches a slanted line as xx \to \infty or xx \to -\infty, it may have an oblique asymptote.

Tip: For rational functions, vertical asymptotes often occur where the denominator is zero (if those points do not cancel with the numerator).
