Rational Functions

Learning Objective

  • Describe graphically, algebraically, and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and dependent variables.

  • Use rational functions to solve problems.  Solve by graphing, factoring, finding zeros and asymptotes through analysis of the polynomials in the numerator and denominator, and use properties of equality.

There are five assignments: review each assignment with your teacher before proceeding to the next.

3- Horizontal Asymptotes

Limits and Horizontal Asymptototes

Here's a quick lesson on how limits work. More info below the video.

Wikipedia has a pretty good article on limits.
