A function f has a horizontal asymptote of y = -4, a vertical asymptote of x = 3, and an x-intercept at (1,0).
PART A: Let f be of the form
f(x)=(ax+b)/(x+c)
Find an expression for f(x).
PART B: Let f be of the form
f(x)=(rx+s)/(2x+t)
Find an expression for f(x).
Thanks!

Since we have a vertical asymptote at x = 3, c = - 3.....and since we have a horizontal asymptote at y = -4, a = -4......and since we have an x intercept at (1,0), we can solve this for b ⇒ -4(1) + b = 0 ⇒ b = 4......here's the graph : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1pmoaiuapl
PART B: Let f be of the form
f(x)=(rx+s)/(2x+t)
Find an expression for f(x).
Since the vertical asymptote is at 3 , we can solve this for t.....2(3) + t = 0 ⇒ t = -6
And since the horizontal asymptote is at -4, r = -8
And since we have an x intercept at (1,0), we can solve this for s......-8(1) + s = 0 ⇒ s = 8
