Homework Equations
y = f(x)
y=k(x+4)(x)(x-6)
y=1/f(x)
y= 1/ (k(x+4)(x)(x-6))
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm more looking for clarification on how people would approach this. There is no explicit point given to deduce the value of k to determine the vertical stretch or compression on y =f(x), so I was wondering if I was missing something or if there is simply another way to solve this problem.
You can deduce a few things:
Horizontal Asymptote is going to be at y=0
Vertical Asymptotes are going to be at (x=-4) , (x =0), (x=6)
The function will be negative and have end behaviour in quadrant 2 and 4
With the current information, I only have enough to have the family of rational functions that are reciprocals of y = f(x)
Am I just over complicating this, and should I just use point (4,8)?
