Task 3—Graphing Rational Functions 

Create a rational function with a linear binomial in both the numerator and denominator. 

Part 1. Graph your function using technology. Include the horizontal and vertical asymptotes and the x- and y-intercepts on your graph. Label the asymptotes and intercepts. 

Part 2. Show all work to identify the vertical asymptote, the x-intercepts, and the y-intercept.

I honestly don't remember everything on this from freshman year. But I'm sure @aum can help you

anonymous · Answer

Okay thank you tho :)

anonymous · Answer

No problem :)

anonymous · Answer

why not try 
$$f(x)=\frac{x+1}{x-1}$$ to make it easy

anonymous · Answer

What would be the asymptotes?

anonymous · Answer

a) vertical asymptote, set the denominator equal to zero and solve 
$$x-1=0\
x=1$$

anonymous · Answer

How would I graph it tho, just plug it in for x in the equation?

anonymous · Answer

b) horizontal asymptote, take the ratio of the leading coefficients, which in this case is 
$$y=\frac{1}{1}=1$$
