Where do those asymptotes come from? Learners graph, simplify, and solve rational functions in the fifth module of a 10-part series. Beginning with graphing, pupils determine the key characteristics of the graphs including an in-depth exploration of asymptotes. They then simplify expressions to aid in solving equations in later lessons.
