    TOPIC:

    GRAPHING RATIONAL FUNCTIONS

    OBJECTIVE:
    graphs rational functions
    Steps of Graphing Rational Functions
    1. Find the y-intercept
    2. Find the x-intercept
    3. Find the asymptotes
    a. Vertical
    b. Horizontal
    c. Oblique
    4. Determine the behavior of the graph
    near vertical asymptote/s.
    5. Draw the graph.
    Cont. Steps of Graphing Rational Functions

    Example 1: Graph f(x) =


    SOLUTION:
    Step 1: Find the y – intercept of the rational
    function.
    The y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
     
    Step 2: Find the x – intercept of the function.
    The x-intercept of f(x) is 1. 
    Steps of Graphing Rational Functions
    Cont. Example 1: Graph f(x) =
     Step 3: Find the asymptotes.
    i. The degree of the numerator of f(x) is equal to the
    degree of the denominator of f(x), the graph of f(x) has
    the line y = as a horizontal asymptote which is y = .
    ii. The vertical asymptote is the line x = -.
    iii.Since both degrees of numerator and denominator of
    f(x) are equal, therefore oblique asymptote does not
    exist.
