Question 33·Hard·Nonlinear Functions

The rational function rr is defined by an equation in the form

r(x)=mx+nx3,r(x)=\frac{mx+n}{x-3},

where mm and nn are constants. The graph of y=r(x)y=r(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y=4y=4 and passes through the point (5,2)(5,2).

A new function is defined by

s(x)=r(x2)+1.s(x)=r(x-2)+1.

Which equation could define ss?
