27: D( f ) = (−∞,0) ∪ (0,∞); f is continuous there.
y-intercept: f (0) not possible; x-intercepts: f = 0 gives x = 2. f is not symmetric, see f = 0. Limits at endpoints:
Interpretation as asymptotes: Horizontal asymptote y = −1 at −∞. Vertical asymptote at x = 0. Horizontal asymptote y = 1 at ∞.
Now determine monotonicity using f ′.
