## anonymous one year ago What is the graph of the function f(x) = the quantity of negative x squared minus 2 x minus 2, all over x minus 2? **MEDAL/FAN**

There are two ways you can do this 1) plot a bunch of points and connect them with a curve 2) use a graphing calculator like TI83 or something like desmos https://www.desmos.com/calculator

if you use method 1), then you plug in various values of x to get the corresponding values of y example: if x = 0, then $\Large y = \frac{-x^2-2x-2}{x-2}$ $\Large y = \frac{-0^2-2(0)-2}{0-2}$ $\Large y = 1$ so the point (0,1) lies on the function curve. To find other points, you follow the same steps for different x values. The only thing not allowed is x = 2.

How would the graph look on desmos because it isn't workinf for me
