How do you graph #f (x) = (24x – 156) /( 36 – x^2)#?

First of all, we have to define the qualitative characteristics of this function. Obviously, it has asymptotes at points where the denominator equals to zero, that is where
Here is one approach to graph this function (and there are others).
Now we have to construct two separate graphs:
and add them up.
Graph of the first function is a hyperbola shifted by 6 units to the left, stretched by a factor of 24 and inverted the sign by reflecting it relative to the X-axis.
graph{-24/(x+6) [-40, 40, -20, 20]}
The graph of the second function can be constructed by inverting the graph of a function
Here is a graph of $g(x)=36-x^2
The resulting graph would look like this:
graph{-24/(x+6)-12/(36-x^2) [-50, 50, -40, 40]}

The graph of the second function can be constructed by inverting the graph of a function
Here is a graph of
graph{36-x^2 [-80, 80, -40, 40]}
And inverted graph of
graph{-12/(36-x^2) [-80, 80, -40, 40]}
Adding
(1) around point
(2) around point
(3) in between point
(4) to the left of
(5) to the right of
The resulting graph would look like this:
graph{-24/(x+6)-12/(36-x^2) [-50, 50, -40, 40]}
