Asymptotes - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Points of Discontinuity in Rational Functions

Explore the concept of points of discontinuity in rational functions, where the denominator equals zero, leading to breaks in the graph. Learn about types of discontinuities such as vertical asymptotes and holes, and discover how to identify them in graphical representations through examples.

Understanding Properties of Rational Functions

Rational functions are expressed as the ratio of two polynomials. The domain of a rational function excludes values that make the denominator zero. Various examples illustrate how to determine the domain and identify asymptotes in rational functions. Vertical asymptotes exist where the denominator i

Sketching Graphs of Functions: Techniques and Examples

The art of sketching graphs of functions involves representing specific shapes and behaviors through labeled diagrams. This lesson highlights key details to keep in mind when sketching functions, such as labeling axes, maximum and minimum values, intercepts, symmetry, and asymptotes. Two examples of

Understanding Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes in Rational Functions

Vertical and horizontal asymptotes play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of rational functions. Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator of a rational function equals zero, leading to excluded values. On the other hand, horizontal asymptotes are determined by comparing the degrees
