f(x)=-2/x-2

To graph, the function, draw the horizontal and vertical asymptotes (if any) and plot at least two points on each piece of the graph.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 2 the denominator x - 2  is zero so there will be a vertical asymptote x = 2. When x  approaches negative infinity the function will approach x axis from above and for positive infinity the graph will approach x-axis from below , so the horizontal asymptote is the x axis.

You can plot the following points on the  the 2 parts of the graph:

(0, 1) and (-10, 0.2)  on the left

(4, -1) and (2.2, -10) on the right

Drawing the graph:

First draw the vertical asymptote x = 2  ( a vertical line passing through  the point (2, 0) on the x-axis.

Then starting on the left  draw a line through (-10, 0.2) just above the x axis and continue to curve upwards through the point (0, 1) on the y axis, then continue sharply upwards to get close to but not to touch the  vertical asymptote.

On the right of the y axis draw a line through the point (2.2 , -10)  and curving upwards through the point (4, -1) then it goes close to the x axis but not touching it.
