Question

Graph each function and identify the horizontal and vertical asymptotes
straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator 3 over denominator x minus 2 end fraction

hintHint:

A rational function is a function that is the ratio of polynomials. Any function of one variable, x, is called a rational function if, it can be represented as f(x) = p(x)/q(x), where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials such that q(x) ≠ 0.
Rational functions are of the form y=f(x)y=fx , where f(x)fx is a rational expression .
  • If both the polynomials have the same degree, divide the coefficients of the leading terms. This is your asymptote.
  • If the degree of the numerator is less than the denominator, then the asymptote is located at y = 0 (which is the x-axis).
  • If the degree of the numerator is greater than the denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote.

The correct answer is: From the graph we can analyze that the vertical asymptote of the rational function is x = 2 and horizontal asymptote is y = 0


    1. Find the asymptotes of the rational function, if any.
    2. Draw the asymptotes as dotted lines.
    3. Find the x -intercept (s) and y -intercept of the rational function, if any.
    4. Find the values of y for several different values of x .
    5. Plot the points and draw a smooth curve to connect the points. Make sure that the graph does not cross the vertical asymptotes.
    The vertical asymptote of a rational function is x -value where the denominator of the function is zero. Equate the denominator to zero and find the value of x .
    x – 2 = 0
    x = 2
    The vertical asymptote of the rational function is x= 2.
    This function has no x -intercept and has y -intercept at (0,-1.5) . We will find more points on the function and graph the function


    From the graph we can analyze that the vertical asymptote of the rational function is  x= 2  and horizontal asymptote is y = 0
