Connect end behavior to previous learning. Pupils connect finding the end behavior of rational functions to finding end behavior of polynomial functions. The 13th segment in a 23-part unit starts with finding the end behavior or power functions and reciprocal power functions. Individuals then use the patterns with those functions to generate the idea of how behavior of polynomial functions can help determine the end behavior of a rational function.
