For the Following Rational Function, Identify the Coordinates of All $$f ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } + x - 72 } { x ^ { 2 } - x - 56 }$$

question 193

Multiple Choice

For the following rational function, identify the coordinates of all removable discontinuities and sketch the graph. Identify all intercepts and find the equations of all asymptotes.
- $$f ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } + x - 72 } { x ^ { 2 } - x - 56 }$$

• A) removable discontinuity at \( \left(8, \frac{17}{15}\right) \) \( x \)-intercept: \( (-9,0), \mathrm{y} \)-intercept: \( \left(0, \frac{9}{7}\right) \) asymptotes: \( \mathrm{x}=-7, \mathrm{y}=1 \)
• B) no removable discontinuities; \( x \)-intercept: \( (0,0) ; y \)-intercept \( (0,0) \); asymptotes: \( x=-7, x=8, y=0 \)
• C)noremovable discontinuity at \( \left(8,-\frac{17}{15}\right) \) \( x \)-intercept: \( (-9,0), y \)-intercept: \( \left(0, \frac{9}{7}\right) \) asymptotes: \( x=-7, y=-1 \)
• D) no removable discontinuities; \( x \)-intercept: \( (0,0) ; y \)-intercept \( (0,0) \); asymptotes: \( x=-7, x=8, y=0 \)
