    Answer:

    (x+2)/(x-6)(x+2)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that vertical asymptotes are found in the denominator, so we can start with 1/(x-6)

    x-6 will equal zero at 6, so that is where the VA will be.

    For the removable discontinuity (hole), it needs to cancel out in the numerator and denominator. (x+2)/(x-6)(x+2)

    when x equals -2, there is an undefined y value.
