Can Rolles Theorem be applied to this function (x^2-2x-3)/(x+2) on the interval [-1,3] If it can be applied find the mins and maxs guaranteed by the theorem. For some reason I want to say that Rolles Theorem cannot be applied here because it isn't continous. Am I correct? If not can someone show me?

At what point the function is "not continuous"?

Looking at the function - you should be able to tell that there is a vertical assymptote at x = ???
What is/are the rule/s for vertical assymptotes?
