MIDTERMS

January 22, 2008

Objectives: YWBAT identify and distinguish rational functions and polynomial functions YWBAT interpret the domain and range including excluded values for rational functions

Agenda: 1. Why are these functions called "rational" functions? 3. Articule the meaning of excluded values and why the are significant?

January 23, 2008

Objectives: YWBAT apply methods of graphing to represent rational functions on a cartesian plane YWBAT identify the link between the algebraic understanding of excluded values and their algebraic representation

Agenda: 1. What methods of graphing can we employ to represent this function on a plane? 2. What is a vertical asymptote? Why is it included in the graph of the function? 3. How do alterations in the character of the numerator and denominator have effects in the graphical realm?

HW: Graphing Handout

Objectives: YWBAT identify horizontal asymptotes of rational functions expressed in symbolic and graphical form YWBAT identify holes in the domain of rational functions when written in symobicl form

Agenda: 1. Why do some of the given graphs have "missing" vertical asymptotes? What is the difference in the equation that may be responsible for their having gone "missing"? 2. How do holes compare to vertical asymptotes? 3. Horizontal asymptotes are different from vertical asymptotes in what ways? 4. Represent rational functions using the foolness of your graphical toolkit.
