1. **Problem Statement:**
Given a rational function $f$ with a vertical asymptote at $x=0$ and a horizontal asymptote at $y=2$, find the equations of the asymptotes, the $x$- and $y$-intercepts, and the domain and range.
2. **Asymptotes:**
- Vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero and the function is undefined.
- Horizontal asymptote describes the end behavior of the function as $x \to \pm \infty$.
3. **Given:**
- Vertical asymptote: $x=0$
- Horizontal asymptote: $y=2$
4. **Intercepts:**
- $x$-intercepts occur where $f(x)=0$.
- $y$-intercepts occur where $x=0$.
5. **From the graph:**
- No $x$-intercepts are marked, so none exist.
- No $y$-intercepts are marked, so none exist.
6. **Domain:**
- All real numbers except where the function is undefined.
- Since vertical asymptote at $x=0$, domain is $$(-\infty,0) \cup (0,\infty)$$
7. **Range:**
- The function approaches but never reaches $y=2$.
- No values at $y=2$, so range is $$(-\infty,2) \cup (2,\infty)$$
**Final answers:**
- Vertical asymptote(s): $x=0$
- Horizontal asymptote(s): $y=2$
- $x$-intercept(s): None
- $y$-intercept(s): None
- Domain: $(-\infty,0) \cup (0,\infty)$
- Range: $(-\infty,2) \cup (2,\infty)$
