Make a flow chart with the steps for graphing rational functions: Sketch Asymptotes Find Asymptotes Find points to make the graph Sketch the branches State the domain and range
3x2 2x2– 2 Graphy = . x y x y -3 –2 –½ 0 ½ 2 3 1.7 2 –½ 0 –½ 2 1.7 The degrees equal so the horizontal asymptote is y = 1½ The denominator can be factored as(x + 1)(x – 1), therefore the vertical asymptotes at x = – 1 and x = 1. Pick 2 points to the left and right then 3 points in the middle D {x: x ≠ -1, 1} R {y: y ≠ 1½}
RECAP What is the domain? x-values What is the range? y-values What are asymptotes? Bounds of a graph How do you find the vertical asymptote? Set the denominator equal to zero and solve Write a rational equation that has a horizontal asymptote y = 4 and vertical asymptote x = 3. 4x-1 x-3 y =
