HSF.IF.C.7.d: (+) Graph rational functions, identifying zeros and asymptotes when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior.
What you'll learn
- Identify the zeros of a rational function by finding the zeros of the numerator (excluding values where the denominator is also zero)
- Identify vertical asymptotes by finding the zeros of the denominator (where no common factor cancels)
- Determine horizontal asymptotes by comparing the degrees of the numerator and denominator
- Identify removable discontinuities (holes) when a common factor cancels from numerator and denominator
- Sketch a rational function using zeros, asymptotes, and sign analysis to determine the behavior in each region
- Use technology to graph rational functions and verify hand-analysis of key features
