Senior Analysis: Graphing Rational Functions

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process of...

Write, graph, and model all things linear and exponential. Building on the previous module in a nine-part Algebra I series, learners compare linear exponential modeling. They write equations, graph functions, and analyze key features.

Graph the night away with all the different types of functions provided in the worksheet. Linear, quadratic, and rational all ask for graphs, domain and range and other key factors about the functions.

Move all rational functions—well, maybe. Learners investigate the graphs of the reciprocals of power functions to determine a pattern between the graph and the power. Pupils graph rational functions where transformations are clearly...

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

Graphing functions by hand is pretty easy. A comprehensive video reviews how to graph different function types. It looks at the constant, identity, quadratic, cubic, absolute value, square root, cube root, reciprocal, and squared...

One of the strongest tools an algebra learner develops is the ability to quickly and accurately graph almost any given function. Often doing this quickly and accurately requires rigid transformations to a parent function,...

Intersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

So, exactly, what does it look like? The easily usable graphing calculator allows pupils to visualize the graph of equations and inequalities. The interactive supports any algebraic graph needed for high school mathematics and then some.

Shift the function and transform the key features of the graph. By translating the graph of the rational function, class members find out how the key features alter. Pupils determine the domain, range, asymptotes, and intervals of...
