(1) Given that there are vertical asymptotes at x=5 and x=-4, the factors in the denominator are (x-5) and (x+4).
(2) As we have x-intercepts at x=-6 and x=4, we have (x+6) and (x-4) in numerator as factors
(3) As we have horizontal asymptote at y=9, the highest power of numerator and denominator are same and coefficient of numerator is 9 times that of denominator
Hence, rational function is 9(x+6)(x4)(x5)(x+4) or 9x2+18x216x2x20
