Disappearing Asymptotes The Visual Answers
Consider the graph of the function defined by: Disappearing Asymptotes:
hole in the graph! Again:
Consider the graph of a series of rational functions with denominator of the form x – a, where 1 < a < 2. Keep your eye on: 1) the position of the vertical asymptote 2) the diagonal distance between the two “halves” of the graph.
Extension: • What would happen if we explored the same relationship from the left side of the asymptote? i.e. • How would the graph change, etc.?
