what points would i choose to graph the rational function
(4x^2/x^2-9)
**
Horizontal asymptote:
Since degree of numerator and denominator the same, divide lead coefficient of numerator by lead coefficient of denominator=4/1=4
Horizontal asymptote: y=4
..
vertical asymptotes:
set denominator=0, then solve for x
x^2-9=0
(x+3)(x-3)=0
x=3
and
x=-3
vertical asymptotes: x=3 and x=-3
..
y-intercept
set x=0, then solve for y
y=0
..
x-intercepts
set y=0, then solve for x
0=4x^2
x=0 (multi. 2)
..
number line:
<...+...-3...-....0....-.....3..+....>
You now have the information you need to graph given rational function.
