Do a couple from the group 1-6.
Do a couple from the group 7-10. Problem 9 is interesting in that it illustrates the fact that if, after cancelling all factors common to the numerator and denominator, x-a remains a factor of the denominator, then x=a is a vertical asymptote, regardless of whether x-a was a factor of the "original" numerator. To put it another way, if x=a is a zero of both numerator and denominator, but it has higher multiplicity with respect to the denominator, then x=a is a vertical asymptote of the function.
Do a couple from the group 11-16.
