Assignment
Identify the coordinates of any local and absolute extreme points and inflection points. Graph the function.
y = x2− 3
x − 2
The domain of y is .( − ,2) (2, )
Notice that the function is undefined at x . Also, there are no symmetries about either axis or the origin.= 2
What is the next step in determining and interpreting the critical points of y?
A. Solve the function y for x.
B. Set y equal to 0 and solve for x.
C. Find the y-intercept(s) of y.
D. Find and .y y
Find .y
y = x2− 3
x − 2
y = (x − 1)(x − 3)
(x − 2)2
Find .y
y = (x − 1)(x − 3)
