31. Mrs. Rivas International Studies Charter School. Finding the horizontal Asymptotes of a Rational Function Example 3 Find the horizontal asymptote, if any, of the graph of each rational function: c. The degree of the numerator, 3, is greater than the degree of the denominator, 2. Thus, the graph of has no horizontal asymptote

32. Mrs. Rivas International Studies Charter School. Use transformations to graph rational functions. Some rational functions can be graphed using transformations (horizontal shifting, stretching or shrinking, reflecting, vertical shifting) of these two common graphs.
