Consider the rational functions on the right.
Use the items on the left to identify each function's:
â—† Domain
â—† Points of discontinuity (and the type of discontinuity each represents: removable or non-removable)
â—† 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)

What is the graph of the rational function?
Use the techniques you've learned to graph the function by hand. Use colors that stand out and show your work on the canvas. Include all relevant graph detail.

What is the graph of the rational function?
Use the provided graphing utility to graph the function from the previous item. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.

Please do not edit the original graph you created on the previous item's canvas, but you may use a new color to add a second handmade graph (for full credit) on the same canvas if you feel that a more accurate graph is necessary.

Graphing:
1. Without the aid of a graphing utility, sketch a graph the equation on the canvas below using the blue ink tool.
2. Graph the equation on the embedded Desmos graphing calculator above.
3. Sketch a copy of the Desmos graph on the canvas below using the red ink tool.
4. Consider any discrepancies between the graphs.

Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Vocagulary Review: Categorize each statement as true or false.

  • A polynomial can be named by its degree.
  • A polynomial with one term is called a binomial.
  • True
  • False
