`f(x)=(7x-5)/(x+6)`
Let's start with I and J
I) Horizontal Asymptote
`lim_(x->oo)f(x)=7/1=7`
Hence y=7 is the horizontal asymptote
J) Vertical Asymptote
`lim_(x->-6)f(x)=oo`
Hence x=-6 vertical asymptote.
`f'(x)=[7(x+6)-(7x-5)*1]/(x+6)^2=>`
`f'(x)=[7x+42-7x+5]/(x+6)^2=47/(x+6)^2`
A) Since f(x) is not defined at x=-6, then we have no critical points.
B & C) f'(x) is always positive, hence it is always increasing.
`f''(x)=[-47*2*(x+6)]/(x+6)^4=-94/(x+6)^3`
D & E) no local max or min
F) f(x) is concave up when f''(x)>0=>`(x+6)<0=>x<-6`
`(-oo,-6)`
G) f(x) is concave down on `(-6,oo)`
H) No inflection point.
