To graph the function y = (x^2 + 4x - 2)/(x^2 - x - 7), follow these steps:
-
Determine the domain of the function by finding the values of x for which the denominator (x^2 - x - 7) is not equal to zero. In this case, the denominator factors as (x - 3)(x + 2), so the function is undefined at x = 3 and x = -2.
-
Find the y-intercept by substituting x = 0 into the equation. y = (0^2 + 4(0) - 2)/(0^2 - 0 - 7) simplifies to y = -2/(-7) = 2/7.
-
Determine the x-intercepts by setting y = 0 and solving for x. However, in this case, the numerator (x^2 + 4x - 2) does not factor easily. Therefore, you can use a graphing calculator or software to find the approximate x-intercepts.
-
Analyze the behavior of the function as x approaches positive and negative infinity. As x becomes very large or very small, the terms involving x^2 dominate the function. Therefore, the function approaches y = 1 as x approaches positive or negative infinity.
-
Plot the obtained points, including the y-intercept and x-intercepts, on a graph. Use the behavior analysis to sketch the curve between the intercepts.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
