(a)
9 - x² ≠ 0, domain is x ≠ ±3
Zero: x = 0
(b)
f(x) = |x|(x - 3)/[(3 - x)(3 + x)] = -|x|/(x + 3) (i)
x -> 3, f'(x) -> -3/(3 + 3) = -1/2
(c)
vertical: x = -3
x ≥ 0, f(x) = -x/(x + 3)
f(x)/x = -1/(x + 3)
x -> ∞, f(x)/x -> 0
There're no asymptotes in the form of y = kx + b, where k ≠ 0
x -> ∞: f(x) -> -1
x < 0: f(x) = x/(x + 3)
x ->- ∞, f(x)/x -> 1
horizontal asymptotes: y = -1 and y = 1
(d)
non-removable: x = -3
(x - 3) can be canceled out as shown in (i)
