GRAPHING RATIONAL
FUNCTION
LET US DEFINE
FIRST THE ASYMPTOTES
FOLLOWING It is a line partition to
TERMS the graph; a line that
approaches but never
touches to the graph
of the function. TYPES OF ASYMPTOTES
1.Vertical
Asymptote
2.Horizontal
Asymptote
LET US DEFINE
FIRST THE
INTERCEPTS
FOLLOWING
TERMS The point where the
line or curve crosses
the axis of the graph
TYPES OF INTERCEPTS
1.x-intercept
2.y-intercept
LET US DEFINE
FIRST THE COORDINATES
FOLLOWING Coordinates are
TERMS ordered pairs of
points that help us
locate any point in a
2D plane or 3D space.
EXAMPLE
1.(-2,3) - 2D Plane
2.(1, -3, 5) - 3D
Space
LET US DEFINE
FIRST THE
DOMAIN
FOLLOWING
TERMS Is the set of x-values
that we are allowed to
plug into our function.
EXAMPLE
LET US DEFINE
FIRST THE
RANGE
FOLLOWING
TERMS Is the set of y-values
that we are allowed to
plug into our function.
EXAMPLE
A function of the form f(x)=
What is p(x)/q(x) where p(x) and q(x) are
Rational polynomials, and q(x) is not the
zero function or equal to zero.
