1. Simplify the following rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.
$$\frac{x^2 - 4x - 12}{x^2 - 4}$$
2. Perform the indicated operation and simplify. State any restrictions on the variable.
$$\frac{3y}{y^2 - 25} \div \frac{9y^2}{2y - 10}$$
3. Solve the following rational equation. Identify any extraneous solutions.
$$\frac{2}{x+1} + \frac{1}{x-1} = \frac{4}{x^2-1}$$
The least common denominator (LCD) is .
Multiplying by the LCD, the equation becomes .
The solution(s) to the equation are x = .
The extraneous solution(s), if any, are x = .
4. What is the domain of the rational function $$f(x) = \frac{x-3}{x^2 - x - 6}$$?
$$x \neq 3$$
$$x \neq -2$$
$$x \neq 3, x \neq -2$$
$$x \neq 3, x \neq 2$$
5. Consider the function $$g(x) = \frac{x+2}{x-1}$$.
a) State the equation of the vertical asymptote:
b) State the equation of the horizontal asymptote:
c) State the x-intercept(s):
d) State the y-intercept(s):
