1
New cards
Quotient
________ (minus remainder if applicable) is the OA.
2
New cards
Rational function
Obtained through the division of polynomials Sometimes there’s an x in the numerator

There is always an x in the denominator

No passing through asymptotes, no right angles, no curving back on yourself
3
New cards
holes
Cancelled terms are what create ________.
4
New cards
Rational function
Obtained through the division of polynomials
5
New cards
a little + at the top of the number means to the right of, a little
to the top of the number means to the left of (think of it as a number line)
6
New cards
Find HA, with reciprocals of linear functions, your HA will be y=0 (rule
no x in numerator, HA y=0)
7
New cards
The test values you will use for the VA will be one decimal to the left (for VA⁻⁻) and one decimal to the right (for VA⁺); the test values you use for HA
for the -∞ you put -100 and for ∞ you put 100
8
New cards
Sketch
fill out the sketch while going through the process of finding all of the highlighted attributes
9
New cards
Find x intercept
if there is no x in the numerator, there is no x intercept
10
New cards
Find y intercept
sub 0 in for y (f(0)) and solve
11
New cards
Domain and range
Domain ≠ VA, Range ≠ HA
12
New cards
Analyze slopes
slope analysis is a rate of change
13
New cards
Find HA, with reciprocals of linear functions, your HA will be y=0 (rule
no x in numerator, HA y=0)

20
New cards
Find x intercept
solve numerator = 0
21
New cards
Find VA
solve denominator = 0
22
New cards
The test values you will use for the VA will be one decimal to the left (for VA⁻⁻) and one decimal to the right (for VA⁺); the test values you use for HA
for the -∞ you put -100 and for ∞ you put 100
23
New cards
Find HA
y=a/c
24
New cards
Sketch
fill out the sketch while going through the process of finding all of the highlighted attributes
25
New cards
Domain
cannot equal VA, skip over asymptote
26
New cards
Range
cannot equal HA, skip over asymptote
27
New cards
Analyze slopes
slope analysis is a rate of change
28
New cards
Clear your fractions
multiply, expand, solve
29
New cards
Simplify to a single fraction
factor, common denominator
30
New cards
Look back to the original question and see what it is asking
then use the interval table to determine what is appropriate for the question
31
New cards
Restrict (make = to 0) the term that youre cancelling
this is the x value of your holes coordinate → to find the y value of your hole, plug x into f(x) and solve
32
New cards
Factor
see that nothing cancels and you dont have a hole
33
New cards
VA
Set denominator to 0
34
New cards
Cancelled terms
make holes
