Pick any three negative values that you like for and then substitute each of those values into the function. Use your calculator in each case to determine the value of the function for that input value of . Then, in each case, plot the resulting point represented by the ordered pair consisting of the selected value for and the calculated value of the function.

Repeat the above process for and for three selected positive values for .

Once you have all 7 points plotted, draw a smooth curve through the points.

The graph should appear asymptotic to the -axis.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
