There is a hole at
Explanation:
To begin, we must limit the function to ensure the denominator is not zero. The only excluded value in this case is
The resulting polynomial does not have any asymptotes, so only the hole at
graph{(4x^4-x^5)/x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Though it isn't visible on the graph, the hole is still there and must be listed in the excluded values.
