1. 2.5 Exploring Graphs of Rational Functions

2. Your Goal Today
Using DESMOS, work through the questions A to L on pg
Answer questions pg 116 #1 – 3.
By the end of the lesson, you will be able to write the equations of functions that have:
horizontal asymptotes
vertical asymptotes
holes
any combination of the above

3. Asymptote
A line that the graph of a function gets closer and closer to, but never meets.

4. Asymptotes
domain
vertical asymptote x = 0
horizontal asymptote y= 0

5. Vertical Asymptotes
A graph CANNOT cross a V.A.

6. Horizontal Asymptotes
A graph may or may not cross a H.A.

7. Hole also called a removable discontinuity
point at which the function has no value
