3 Graphing Rational Functions Notes


Let’s take a closer look at limits and asymptotes.

For horizontal asymptotes


As x -> ∞, R(x) approaches the horizontal asymptote either from above or below.
As x -> -∞, R(x) approaches the horizontal asymptote either from above or below.

For this example,


As x -> ∞, R(x) -> ________ from ________. As x -> -∞, R(x) -> _______ from ________.

For vertical asymptotes


As x approaches the vertical asymptote from the left, R(x) -> ∞ or R(x) -> -∞.
As x approaches the vertical asymptote from the right, R(x) -> ∞ or R(x) -> -∞.

For this example,


As x -> 2- (from the ________), R(x) -> ________. As x -> 2+ (from the ________), R(x) -> _______.
