Sec 4.4: Curve Sketching Horizontal Asymptotes Vertical 1)Vertical Asymptotes 2) Horizontal Asymptotes 3) Slant Asymptotes Slant or Oblique called a slant asymptote because the vertical distance between the curve and the line approaches 0. For rational functions, slant asymptotes occur when the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree of the denominator. In such a case the equation of the slant asymptote can be found by long division as in the following

Sec 4.4: Curve Sketching GUIDELINES FOR SKETCHING A CURVE • Domain • Intercepts • Symmetry • Asymptotes • Intervals of Increase or Decrease • Local Maximum and Minimum Values • Concavity and Points of Inflection • Sketch the Curve Symmetry symmetric about the y-axis symmetric about the origin
Sec 4.4: Curve Sketching Example • Domain • Intercepts • Symmetry • Asymptotes • Intervals of Increase or Decrease • Local Maximum and Minimum Values • Concavity and Points of Inflection • Sketch the Curve • Domain: R-{1,-1} • Intercepts : x=0 • Symmetry: y-axis • Asymptotes: V:x=1,-1 H:y=2 • Intervals of Increase or Decrease: inc (-inf,-1) and (-1,0) dec (0,1) and (1,-inf) • Local Maximum and Minimum Values: max at (0,0) • Concavity and Points of Inflection down in (-1,1) UP in (-inf,-1) and (1,inf) • Sketch the Curve
