Expert Solution
Step 1

The given rational function can be simplified as follows.

2х2 +4х
f (x) =
х? — 2х —8
2x(x+2)
х? — 4х + 2х —8
2x (х +2)
x(х- 4) +2 (х-4)
2x (х+2)
(x+2)(х-4)
Step 2

Domain ‘D’ for the given function can be determined as to be.

D=(-0,0)-{-2},{4}
Step 3

Intercepts for the given function can be determined as.

2х %3D0
х 3 0
Step 4

Vertical asymptotes can be determined to be as.

х+2 30
х%3 -2
х—4 %3D0
х3 4
Step 5

Horizontal asymptotes can be determined to be.
