Definitions
• Continuity: a graph that is able to be traced without picking up the pencil
• Asymptote: a line that the graph of the function approaches, but never touches (this line is graphed as a dotted line)
• Point discontinuity: a hole in the graph

Vertical Asymptote

Horizontal Asymptote
y=1, is the horizontal asymptote
because the coefficients of the leading terms =1
To Find A Horizontalasymptote look at the
degrees of the numeratorand denominator
*If the degree of the denominator is
greater than the degree of the numerator,
then the horizontal asymptote is y=0
*If the degree ofThe denominator isequal to the degree
of the numeratorthen the horizontal
asymptote is found by dividing the coefficients
of the leading terms.

Steps to Graph a Rational Function
• 1. Factor and simplify if you can• 2. Look for the vertical asymptote• 3. Look for the horizontal asymptote• 4. Draw asymptotes as dotted lines on your graph• 5. Find 2 x values so that one is greater than the vertical
asymptote and one is less than the vertical asymptote ( If there is no vertical asymptote you must make an x-y chart and find at least 5 points to sketch the graph)
• 6. Plot the two points and sketch the graph by stretching toward the asymptotes.

Day #2
• Evaluate Rational Functions just like you would any other function. Finding f(4) simply means plug 4 in for x.
• When you are looking for x and you know f(x) = some # then you replace the f(x) in function notation with the # you are given and solve for x
