Students will explore rational functions graphically and algebraically to identify singularities and asymptotes, both vertical and horizontal.
Students engage in an exploration of asymptotes involving graphing, exploration of a table of values, and algebraic manipulation.
Factoring is applied as a means to identify singularities and determine vertical asymptote locations. Students will use the Transformation Graphing application to see the effects of different values on the graph of the function.
Students apply their findings regarding asymptotes and learn to place dashed lines representing asymptotes on function graphs.
