The x-axis shows the relative locations of a vertical asymptote, a local extreme value, and a jump discontinuity on the graph of the piecewise function p(x) which, aside from the asymptote and jump discontinuity, is a smooth, continuous function. The vertical asymptote, local extreme value, and jump discontinuity divide the x-axis into four intervals. Within each of the four intervals, the first sign indicates the sign of p'(x), and the second sign indicates the sign of p" (x) over the interval. The function has four x-intercepts, one in each interval. Label each location as a transition point, asympote, or neither. + - + + + - Answer Bank transition point asymptote neither
