The true statement about the graph is that there is a hole at x = 3 and an asymptote at x = -1.
The expression in the denominator is x^2-2x-3
x² - 2x-3 ≠0
-3 = +1 -4
(x²-2x+1)-4 ≠0
(x²-2x+1)=(x-1)²
(x-1)² - (2)² ≠0
∴a²-b² =(a-b)(a+b)
(x-1-2)(x-1+2) ≠0
(x-3)(x+1) ≠0
x≠3 for all x≠ -1
There is a hole at x=3 and an asymptote at x= -1, so Option B is wrong
Asymptote:
x-3/x^2-2x-3
We know that denominator is equal to (x-3)(x+1)
x-3/(x-3)(x+1)
x-3 will be cancelled out by x-3
1/x+1
We have asymptote at x=-1 and hole at x=3, therefore the correct option is A.
