Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 Rational Functions Rational functions are quotients of polynomial functions. This means that rational functions can be expressed as where p and q are polynomial functions and The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers except the x-values that make the denominator zero.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 7 Definition of a Vertical Asymptote The line x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of a function f if f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches a.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 8 Definition of a Vertical Asymptote (continued) The line x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of a function f if f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches a.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 9 Locating Vertical Asymptotes If is a rational function in which p(x) and q(x) have no common factors and a is a zero of q(x), the denominator, then x = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 17 Strategy for Graphing a Rational Function 1. Determine whether the graph of f has symmetry. y-axis symmetry origin symmetry 2. Find the y-intercept (if there is one) by evaluating f(0). 3.Find the x-intercepts (if there are any) by solving the equation p(x) = 0. 4.Find any vertical asymptote(s) by solving the equation q(x) = 0.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 18 Strategy for Graphing a Rational Function (continued) 5. Find the horizontal asymptote (if there is one) using the rule for determining the horizontal asymptote of a rational function. 6.Plot at least one point between and beyond each x-intercept and vertical asymptote. 7.Use the information obtained previously to graph the function between and beyond the vertical asymptotes.

Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 20 Slant Asymptotes The graph of a rational function has a slant asymptote if the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator. In general, if p and q have no common factors, and the degree of p is one greater than the degree of q, find the slant asymptotes by dividing q(x) into p(x).
