For every rational function, we are going to look for several different things to help us graph the function accurately:
1.) _____________________________
2.) _____________________________
3.) _____________________________
4.) _____________________________
5.) _____________________________
6.) _____________________________
7.) _____________________________
8.) _____________________________
9.) _____________________________
When Picking Test Points
One V.A.
Two V.A.s

y-int.: ____________

2. Putting It All Together: Directions: For each function given below,
(a) identify/graph the x- and y-intercepts,
(b) identify/graph any hole(s),
(c) identify/graph any Vertical Asymptote(s),
(d) identify/graph any Horizontal or Slant Asymptote(s),
(e) check/plot test points (f) sketch the graph of the function
