SV #2; Unit G Concepts 1-7: How to solve Rational Functions

In Unit G, we find the slant, vertical,and horizontal asymptotes, as well as it's holes. You first determine whether the graph is a horizontal or slant asymptotes, it can not be both. with either asymptote you would then have to find its holes, if it consists of any, x-intercepts, y-intercepts, domain, and a vertical asymptote. There are specific steps to solving for each item, so pay close attention to the short video of how to solve for a Slant Asymptote. Many key points to remember about this unit, it how to solve for each item. A horizontal asymptote has a bigger degree on the bottom (denominator), while a slant asymptote has a bigger degree on top (numerator). A hole is found when something is able to cancel with the factored out equation. A vertical asymptote is found when equaling the denominator with zero. If there is a Hole, we simply remove the "hole" from the equation. these are the main important issues to focus on when solving a polynomial.
