3. Note Quiz 10.2
Graph 𝑦=− 𝑥−2 +3
What is the domain of your graph?
What is the range of your graph?
Write the domain and range of the first example problem we completed in Section 10.2
Challenge
Write an equation of a radical function that has a domain of 𝑥≥2 and a range of 𝑦≤3.

4. Learning Targets Identify and graph a horizontal asymptote
Identify and graph a vertical asymptote
Graph a rational function using a table
Determine the domain and range of a rational function

5. Horizontal Asymptote
A horizontal line that the graph of the function approaches but never touches
𝑦=______
How many horizontal
asymptotes could you have?

6. Vertical Asymptote
A vertical line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches
𝑥=_______

7. Rational Function General Equation: 𝑦= 𝑎 𝑥−𝑏 +𝑐 where 𝑎≠0
Horizontal Asymptote: 𝑦=𝑐
Vertical Asymptote: 𝑥=𝑏
Example:
𝑦= 1 𝑥−2 +1
Horizontal Asymptote:
𝑦=1
Vertical Asymptote:
𝑥=2

8. Graphing Rational Function Procedure
Identify the asymptotes
Graph your asymptotes
Create a table with the middle value the vertical asymptote (VA)
Choose 2 values above and below the VA
Plot the points and create a rational function shape
