* Understand *
1. Find a possible formula for a polynomial which goes to -infinity as
x goes to -infinity, goes to infinity as x goes to infinity, turns twice, has
zeros at x=-1, x=3 and x=4, and has y-intercept (0,5).
(Hint: sketch the graph first.)


2. Without graphing it, identify all horizontal and vertical asymptotes
of y = (x^2 - 5x + 6)/(16-x^2).
