Graphing Rational Functions Cont.

1) Finish any videos that you did not watch yesterday. You can find those videos on yesterday's page.


 * IMPORTANT FOR Rational Functions:**
 * Horizontal Asymptotes:**
 * degree of numerator > degree of denominator → no HA**
 * degree of numerator < degree of denominator → HA: 0 (y = 0)**
 * degree of numerator = degree of denominator → HA: ratio of the leading coefficients**


 * Vertical Asymptotes:**
 * (1) factor denominator (2) set each factor = 0 (3) solve for variable**


 * x- intercepts:**
 * Set numerator = 0 and solve**


 * y-intercepts:**
 * Ratio of the constants (the part with no variable)**

2) Create an Excel type document that resembles the chart below. Fill in all information and email to me by Monday at Noon. You do not have to show your work.




 * Make sure you turn in your picture project by the end of the class period!!
