\text{1. Holes}
There are no common factors in the numerator \( x + 2 \) and the denominator \( (x - 1)(x + 1) \), so there are no holes:
\text{Hole(s)} = \text{None}

\text{2. Vertical Asymptotes}
Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator is zero. Solving \( (x - 1)(x + 1) = 0 \), we get:
x = 1 \text{ and } x = -1
Therefore:
\text{Vertical asymptote(s)} = x = 1 \text{ and } x = -1

\text{3. Horizontal Asymptotes}
The degree of the numerator is 1 and the degree of the denominator is 2. Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator:
\text{Horizontal asymptote(s)} = y = 0

\text{Hole(s)} = \text{None}
\text{Vertical asymptote(s)} = x = 1 \text{ and } x = -1
\text{Horizontal asymptote(s)} = y = 0

The car with an irresponsible driver starts to brake when it goes through a red light. When passing the traffic light, he does so at a speed of 115 kph in the right lane. Further ahead, 70 meters from the traffic light, a child is crossing the street and falls. If the effect of the car's brakes is equivalent to a deceleration of magnitude 5.7m/s². Is the child hit by the car or not? How far from the traffic light does the car stop?
