Rational Functions Review
Graphing Rational Functions
1. How do you find the x-intercept?
2. How do you find the y-intercept?
3. How do you find the VA of a rational function?
4. How do you find a HA when graphing if the degree is larger on the denominator?
5. How do you find the HA when graphing if the degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator?
6. What happens when there is no HA?
Complete the following. You may also use the properties of transformations to identify the following.

Rational Functions Review
Graph. Find the x-intercept, y-intercept, vertical asymptotes, vertical asymptotes, hole(s) if any, domain, and range. If none
exists, write none.
Label your asymptotes and points (if graphing using transformations).
