Going Beyond

 

 

Did you know that you can graph rational expressions? The graph of is shown.

1. Consider the rational expression . What is the non-permissible value of
   
   
2. How is the non-permissible value from question 1 reflected in the graph of
   
   
3. Graph the function using graphing technology. How is the non-permissible value of this function reflected in its graph?
   
   
4. Graph the function using graphing technology.
   
   
   1. How is the non-permissible value of this function reflected in the graph?
      
      
   2. How is the representation of the non-permissible value for different from the representation of the non-permissible value for and
      
      
   3. Simplify the expression
      
      
   4. What is the difference between the graph of and the graph of y = x + 3?

You will further explore rational functions in the your next math course. Save your work in your course folder. You may also want to save your work in a separate folder in case you want to access your notes in your next math course.
