Cameron Rational function graphing quiz
To begin with graphing, both equations should be factored in order to simplify them. Afterwards the vertical asymptotes should be identified. The vertical asymptotes require that,you determine when the denominator equals 0. So you find the number or numbers that when input for X equals zero . Then you can determine if the asymptotes are removable. In the case of the first one the asymptote is removable because x+1 over x+1 can be divided away. This changes the graph entirely. The equation will then become y=x-4 although there will be a hole in the equation and to find out the hole plug in the asymptote previously found for the equation before removing it. So you take the X and plug it into the equation and then you can find the y value and will have your hole . Then graph as you would a linear equation; just keep in mind that there will be a gap in the graph at the coordinates. The other equation does not have a removable asymptote so we'll take some different steps.Before anything the horizontal asymptote for this graph is 0 because the numerator has the same degree as the denominator. After the first thing that you should do when trying to graph a reciprocal function is find the intercepts. It makes plotting points on the graph so much easier. To do so you find when y is equal to 0 for the x-intercept and you find when x is equal to 0 for the y-intercept. Then you can begin by plugging on points to make the graph. Keep in mind that the graph will have two or three different sections due to the asymptotes so be sure to account for all spaces on the graph. This completes your graphing experience if you have any need of reference refer to the guide attached with numbered steps to each equation.
