Answer:
My graphing calculator tells me the function is
.. f(x) = x^2 +x -2
_____
Since we recognize the y-intercept as being (0, -2), we only need to find the coefficients of x and x^2.
If you want to do this by hand, you can use
.. y = ax^2 +bx -2
to write 2 equations in a and b for the (x, y) values (1, 0) and (3, 10).
.. 0 = a +b -2
.. 10 = 9a +3b -2
To solve by substitution, you can let a = 2-b, and you have
.. 10 = 9(2 -b) +3b -2
.. 6b = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6b-10
.. b = 1
.. a = 2 -1 = 1

Answer:
The horizontal asymptote can be described by the line y = 6
The vertical asymptote can be described by the line x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets the meaning of vertical and horizontal asymptotes</em>
- <u><em>Vertical asymptotes</em></u> are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes
of the denominator of a rational function
- <u><em>A horizontal asymptote</em></u> is a y-value on a graph which a function
approaches but does not actually reach
- If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the
denominator, then there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0
- If the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the
denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote
- If the degree of the numerator is equal the degree of the denominator,
then there is a horizontal asymptote at y = leading coefficient of the
numerator ÷ leading coefficient of the denominator
* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>
∵
∵ The numerator is 6x
∵ The denominator is x + 2
∴ The numerator and the denominator have same degree
∵ The leading coefficient of the numerator is 6
∵ The leading coefficient of the denominator is 1
∴ There is a horizontal asymptote at y = 6/1
∴ <em>The horizontal asymptote can be described by the line y = 6</em>
- Put the denominator equal zero to find its zeroes
∵ The denominator is x + 2
∴ x + 2 = 0
- Subtract 2 from both sides
∴ x = -2
∴ <em>The vertical asymptote can be described by the line x = -2</em>
3x + 7 = x
First, subtract 3x from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7 = x - 3x
Second, simplify x - 3x to -2x. / Your problem should look like: 7 = -2x
Third, divide both sides by -2. / Your problem should look like:
= x
Fourth, simplify to 
/ Your problem should look like: 
= x
Fifth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x =
