The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at
Expand the numerator
Factorize
Factor out x + 1
We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)
We are only interested in the sign of the result
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As x approaches -2 implies that:
Say x = -3
We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity
This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity
Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)
As x leaves -2 implies that:
Say x = -2.1
We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity
This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity
So, the behavior is:
and as
