Determine any asymptotes (Horizontal, vertical or oblique). Find holes, intercepts and state it's domain.

Factorize the denominator:

$\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^3+x^2-4x-4}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^2(x+1)-4(x+1)}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{(x^2-4)(x+1)}$

If $x\neq\pm2$ , we can cancel the factors of $x^2-4$ , which makes $x=-2$ and $x=2$ removable discontinuities that appear as holes in the plot of $g(x)$ .

We're then left with

$\dfrac1{x+1}$

which is undefined when $x=-1$ , so this is the site of a vertical asymptote.

As $x$ gets arbitrarily large in magnitude, we find

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}g(x)=\lim_{x\to+\infty}g(x)=0$

since the degree of the denominator (3) is greater than the degree of the numerator (2). So $y=0$ is a horizontal asymptote.

Intercepts occur where $g(x)=0$ ( $x$ -intercepts) and the value of $g(x)$ when $x=0$ ( $y$ -intercept). There are no $x$ -intercepts because $\dfrac1{x+1}$ is never 0. On the other hand,

$g(0)=\dfrac{0-4}{0+0-0-4}=1$

so there is one $y$ -intercept at (0, 1).

The domain of $g(x)$ is the set of values that $x$ can take on for which $g(x)$ exists. We've already shown that $x$ can't be -2, 2, or -1, so the domain is the set

$\{x\in\mathbb R\mid x\neq-2,x\neq-1,x\neq2\}$

Why did the feudal system rely on a high degree of local independence?

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:Feudalism helped protect communities from the violence and warfare that broke out after the fall of Rome and the collapse of strong central government in Western Europe. Feudalism secured Western Europe's society and kept out powerful invaders. Feudalism helped restore trade. Lords repaired bridges and roads.
