Graph of a rational function.

The rational function shown in the graph above has a hole at x=\displaystyle {x}= and a vertical asymptote at x=\displaystyle {x}= .

If this function has the form Q(x)=xb(xa)(xb)\displaystyle {Q}{\left({x}\right)}={\frac{{{x}-{b}}}{{{\left({x}-{a}\right)}{\left({x}-{b}\right)}}}}

then a=\displaystyle {a}=

and b=\displaystyle {b}=.
