Problem 4 Got It? What is the graph of the rational function?

  1. Use the techniques you've learned to graph the function by hand using the blue pen tool. Include all relevant graph detail.
  2. Graph the function using Desmos' graphing calculator and copy that graph to yours using the orange pen tool. It is alright if the graphs overlap in some places and are different in others.
  3. Note any discrepancies between the graph you created by hand and the precise Desmos graph.

Solve It! Last season, you made 40% of your basketball shots. The Game 1 shot chart shows that you did not start the season so well.


Starting with Game 2, how many consecutive shots must you make to raise this season's percentage to 40%?

Solve It! Last season, you made 40% of your basketball shots. The Game 1 shot chart shows that you did not start the season so well.


If you never miss another shot this season, is it possible to raise your percentage to 99%? 100%? Explain your reasoning.
Yes, with enough made shots, it is possible to raise your percentage to 99%. No, since you have already missed shots, it is not possible to raise your percentage to 100%.
Yes, with enough made shots, it is possible to raise your percentage to 99% and even 100%.
No, since you have already missed shots, it is not possible to raise your percentage to either 99% or 100%.

Take Note: Sketch a graph with a non-removable discontinuity at x=-3.

Problem 1 Got It? Consider the rational functions on the right.
Use the items on the left to identify each function's:
◆ Domain
◆ Points of discontinuity (and the type of discontinuity each represents: removable or non-removable)
◆ x- and y- intercepts
domain: all real numbers
domain: all real numbers except x = ±4
domain: all real numbers except x = -2, -1
no points of discontinuity
non-removable discontinuity at x = ±4
removable discontinuity at x = -2
non-removable discontinuity at x = -2
removable discontinuity at x = -1
no x-intercept
x-intercept: (1, 0)
x-intercept: (-1, 0)
y-intercept: (0, -1/16)
y-intercept: (0, 1/2)
y-intercept: (0, -1/3)

Take Note: Use your understanding of the horizontal asymptotes of rational functions to match the corresponding items below.
The degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator.
The the horizontal asymptote is y=\frac{a}{b}, where a and b are the leading coeffients of the numerator and denominator respectively.
The degree of the numerator and denominator are the same.
The horizontal asymptote is the x-axis.
The degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator.
The graph has no horizontal asymptote.

Problem 5 Got It? You want to mix a 10% orange juice drink with 100% pure orange juice to make a 40% orange juice drink. The function below gives the concentration y of orange juice in the drink after you add x gallons of the 10% drink to 2 gallons of pure juice.
How much of the 10% drink must you add to get a drink that is 40% juice?
You may use Desmos or the embedded Desmos graphing utility above.
7.5 gallons
4 gallons
1.5 gallons
3 gallons
2.5 gallons
