HOW TO GRAPH RATIONAL FUNCTIONS:
Look at the Denominator and Find the VerticalAsymptote (VA) or NPV
◦Make the Denominator equal to zero and solve for “x”(Denominator can never be zero)
Use Long Division to Find the Horizontal Asymptotes(HA)
◦IF a Remainder exist, the Quotient is the HA
◦IF there is no Remainder, then no HA,the Quotient becomes the graph
Use patterns of Rational Functions to make a sketch ofthe graph OR
Make a Table of Values and plot points
