To graph the function \( F(x) = \frac{x^2 - 3}{x^2} \), you'll first want to identify the asymptotes. The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero. Since \( x^2 \) is never negative, there are no vertical asymptotes. For the horizontal asymptote, as \( x \) approaches infinity, \( F(x) \) approaches \( \frac{1 - 0}{1} = 1 \). Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is \( y = 1 \). Now, plot the graph sketching the behavior near the horizontal line \( y = 1 \). The graph approaches this line but never touches it, while the function changes as \( x \) swings from negative to positive, reflecting the positive and negative nature of \( x^2 - 3 \). Overall, you will have a rational function that is continuous with a horizontal asymptote at \( y = 1 \).
