How do you find the vertical, horizontal and slant asymptotes of: h(x) = log(x^2-4)/log(x/3)h(x)=log(x24)log(x3)?

x>2x>2. x = 2 (uarr) and x = 3 are the vertical asymptotes, y = 2 (rarr) is the horizontal asymptote. The x-intercept is sqrt 55.

Explanation:

h(x) is a bijective function for x in (2, oo)x(2,).

x>2x>2. to make h real.

As x to 2_=, y to -oox2=,y.

As x to oo, y to 2x,y2 ( from below ).

As x to 3, y to +-oox3,y±

x = 2 (uarr) is the vertical asymptote, y = 2 (rarr) is the

horizontal asymptote. The x-intercept is sqrt 55.

y in (-oo, oo)y(,).

The left portion of the graph is for x in (2, 3]x(2,3]

graph{y-log(x^2-4)/log(x/3)=0 [-41.92, 41.93, -20.94, 21]}
