Problem

The graph of is shown below, where and are quadratic. (Assume that the grid lines are at integers.)

problem


The horizontal asymptote is and the only vertical asymptote is Find
Solution
Since there is a hole at both the numerator and denominator must have a factor of Since there is a vertical asymptote at we can assume that

Since the graph passes through for some constant so for

Since the vertical asymptote is and for Hence,
Final answer
\frac{4}{5}
