a) The given function is

$f(x)=\frac{x^2-4}{x^4+x^3-4x^2-4}$

The domain refers to all values of x for which the function is defined.

The function is defined for

$x^4+x^3-4x^2-4\ne0$

This implies that;

$x\ne -2.69,x\ne 1.83$

b) The vertical asymptotes are x-values that makes the function undefined.

To find the vertical asymptote, equate the denominator to zero and solve for x.

x^4+x^3-4x^2-4=0

This implies that;

x= -2.69,x=1.83

c) The roots are the x-intercepts of the graph.

To find the roots, we equate the function to zero and solve for x.

$\frac{x^2-4}{x^4+x^3-4x^2-4}=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-4=0$

x^2=4

$x=\pm \sqrt{4}$

$x=\pm2$

The roots are x=-2,x=2

d) The y-intercept is where the graph touches the y-axis.

To find the y-inter, we substitute;

x=0 into the function

$f(0)=\frac{0^2-4}{0^4+0^3-4(0)^2-4}$

$f(0)=\frac{-4}{-4}=1$

e) to find the horizontal asypmtote, we take limit to infinity

$lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{x^2-4}{x^4+x^3-4x^2-4}=0$

The horizontal asymtote is y=0

f) The greatest common divisor of both the numerator and the denominator is 1.

There is no common factor of the numerator and the denominator which is at least a linear factor.

Therefore the function has no holes.

g) The given function is a proper rational function.

There is no oblique asymptote.
