Rational and Not So Rational Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Rational and Not So Rational Functions assessment also includes:
  • Solution
  • Rational and Not So Rational Functions (.html)
  • Join to access all included materials

Do not cross the line while graphing. Provided with several coordinate axes along with asymptotes, pupils determine two functions that will fit the given restrictions. Scholars then determine other geometrical relationships of asymptotes and provide matching functions. Finally, they show their knowledge of asymptotic lines to explain how a function can be an asymptotic curve of another function.
