A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Review Lesson 8-3: Categorize the vertical asymptotes and holes in the left column based on which function's graph they describe.

  • no holes

  • hole at x = 4

  • hole at x = 3

  • no vertical asymptotes

  • vertical asymptote: x = -1

  • vertical asymptote: x = -3

  • vertical asymptote: x = -2/3
