 i. (0.5 marks) D = [−7, −1) ∪ (−1, 1) ∪ (1, 7] due to the division by zero when x = ±1.
ii. (1 mark) x intercept: f (x) = 0 only when x = 2. y intercept: f (0) = 8.
1−8x−3
iii. (0.5 marks) limx→±∞ f (x) = limx→±∞ x−1 −x−3 = ±∞. The function does not have any horizontal asymptotes.
x3
iv. (4 marks) limx→−1− 1−x2 = −∞ where the sign is determined by the sign of f (x) when x is ever so slightly less than
3 3
x x x3
−1. Using the same logic, limx→−1+ 1−x 2 = ∞, limx→1− 1−x2 = ∞, and limx→1+ 1−x2 = −∞. The function has vertical
asymptotes at x = ±1 and their behaviour is described by these limits.
v. (2 marks) The degree of the numerator is one greater than the degree of the denominator so the function does have an
oblique asymptote. Using long division,
x−8
f (x) = x +
x2 − 1
and thus y = x is an oblique asymptote.

The sketch (2 marks) should be consistent with the features determined above:
