Assignment MAT421

The document defines two piecewise functions: f(x) which is discontinuous at x=1, and f(x) which has a vertical asymptote at x=-3 and horizontal asymptotes at y=1 and y=-1. It evaluates the functions at various values, finds limits, intercepts, asymptotes, critical points, and inflection points. Plots of both functions are displayed.
