  5. Essential Question:What basic concepts must be understood before working with Rational Functions? Match the word with it’s definition Domain Range Holes End Behavior Horizontal Asymptote Vertical Asymptote Describes what happens when you can cancel a polynomial factor in the numerator and denominator of a rational function. The set of all possible x-values (independent values) The imaginary line that the graph does not touch because using that x-value would make the function undefined The set of all possible y-values (dependent values) Describes what happens to the graph as x gets really, really big or really, really small The imaginary line that the function approaches at it’s ends. It usually tells us how high or low the graph will go.

  6. Essential Question:What basic concepts must be understood before working with Rational Functions? Rational Functions Characteristics Learning Task: • What do you know about the polynomial g(x) = x2 + 3x – 10? • What is the Domain? How do you determine the Domain? • What is the Range? How do you determine the Range? • Where are the Roots or Zeros found? What are some different ways you know to find them?

  7. Essential Question:What basic concepts must be understood before working with Rational Functions? Rational Functions Characteristics Learning Task: • What is the End Behavior? How do you know? • What do you know about the polynomial f(x) = x + 1? • What is the Domain? • What is the Range? • What are the Roots or Zeros? • What is the End Behavior? How do you know?

  16. Essential Question:What do Rational Functions have in common?Wednesday • Graded warm-up p.245 Quick Review #1, 3, 6 (7 min) • Homework Review Text p. 102 #10 – 20 even (10 min) • Answers: • Domain: All Real Numbers except x = 3 • Domain: All Real Numbers except x = 0 or 3 • 14. Domain: All Real Numbers except x = 3 • and since 4 – x2 ≥ 0 this means we can only use • numbers between -2 and 2. Written mathematically • the domain is -2 ≤ x ≤ 2 • 16. Domain: All Real Numbers except numbers between -4 & 0 • and between 0 and 4 • 18. Range: [5, ∞) • 20. For this one you needed a graphing calculator to get (- ∞, -1) υ • [0.75, ∞) • Homework p. 246 #63 - 68 MM4A1. Students will explore rational functions. a. Investigate and explain characteristics of rational functions, including domain, range, zeros, points of discontinuity, intervals of increase and decrease, rates of change, local and absolute extrema, symmetry, asymptotes, and end behavior.

  17. Essential Question:How are horizontal & vertical asymptotes found in Rational Functions? Thursday Warm-up Complete Posters for Group work Presentations (10 min) Homework Review (10 min) Finding Horizontal & Vertical Asymptotes Task p. 13 (Rotating Groups) (30 min) Practice Problems p. 103 #55 – 61 odd (10 min) Group Presentations (20 min) Lesson Summary (5 min) Answer Essential Question (5 min) Tonight’s Homework p. 103 #56 ,60, 62 MM4A1. Students will explore rational functions. a. Investigate and explain characteristics of rational functions, including domain, range, zeros, points of discontinuity, intervals of increase and decrease, rates of change, local and absolute extrema, symmetry, asymptotes, and end behavior.

  18. Essential Question:How are horizontal & vertical asymptotes found in Rational Functions?Thursday What we’ve learned so far What does a rational function look like? How do you find the domain of a rational function? How do you find the range of a rational function? How do you find the zeros of a rational function? How can you tell what’s happening at the ends of a rational function? Tonight’s Homework p. 103 #56 ,60, 62 MM4A1. Students will explore rational functions. a. Investigate and explain characteristics of rational functions, including domain, range, zeros, points of discontinuity, intervals of increase and decrease, rates of change, local and absolute extrema, symmetry, asymptotes, and end behavior.

  19. Essential Question:How are horizontal & vertical asymptotes found in Rational Functions?Thursday Warm-up Complete Posters for Group work Presentations (10 min) Homework Review p. 246 #63 – 68 (10 min) #63 False. If the denominator is never zero, there will be no vertical asymptote. For example, f(x) = 1/(x2 + 1) is a rational function and has no vertical asymptotes. #64 False. A rational function is the quotient of two polynomials, and √(x2 +4) is not a polynomial. #65 The answer is E. Factoring the denominator yields x(x+3). #66 The answer is A. Could have been skipped. #67 The answer is D. Since x + 5 = 0 when x = -5, there is a vertical asymptote. We did not cover slant asymptotes, so it is understandable if you did not get that part. #68 The answer is E. The quotient of the leading terms is x4. Tonight’s Homework p. 103 #56 – 62 even
