How would this be solved?

A rational function is given. r (x ) = 3X2 + 1 ( x - 8) 2 (a) Complete each table for the function. (Round your answers to three decimal places where applicable.) Table 1 Table 2 X r(x) X r(x) 7.5 -.652 X 3.5 371 7.9 -. 18823 X 8.1 19783 7.99 -1925200 X 8.01 193480.3 X 7.999 -192952000 X 8.001 193.04 X Table 3 Table 4 X r(x) X r(x) 10 -10 50 -50 100 -100 1000 -1000 (b) Describe the behavior of the function near its vertical asymptote, based on Tables 1 and 2. r ( x ) as x - 8. (c) Determine the horizontal asymptote, based on Tables 3 and 4. y =
