Define a horizontal intercept.

Where the function crosses the x-axis or where f(x)=0 for the function.

100

Given the function  find the vertical intercept.

( 0 , 0.4 )

200

Define a vertical intercept.

Where the function crosses the y-axis or the point at f(0).

200

x = -5 and x = 1

300

Define end behavior

The value or values a function approaches as x approaches infinity.

300

400

Define Vertical Asymptote

A vertical asymptote at  x = a exists if the limit as x approaches a from the left and right is infinity or negative infinity.
