Test Tomorrow: Rational Functions!

Tomorrow we will have our test on rational functions! There is a no calculator portion, a calculator portion, and a take home portion! Here's a breakdown of what's on it:

Part 1: No calculator allowed! (22 minutes)

  • Starts with 3 multiple choice (like Tuesday's sub work):
    • Determine the domain of a function
    • Find the horizontal asymptotes of a function
    • Identify the graph of a rational function (without a calculator)
  • Open Ended:
    • Find the vertical asymptotes and horizontal asymptotes of 2 functions
    • Identify the coordinates of a point of discontinuity
    • Find the y-value of a function for a given x-value
    • Find the x and y intercepts of a function
Part 2: Calculator Portion (20 minutes)
  • You will have 2 graphic organizers, just as we've been doing for homework!
    • Identify x-intercepts, y-intercepts, domain, range, vertical asymptotes, horizontal asymptotes, and additional points
    • Use your graphing calculator to create a table of additional points!
    • Then, use this information to graph the function!
    • One of the two graphs with have a "hole" in it!
Part 3: Take Home Portion (a lesson in responsibility!)
  • DUE MONDAY, no exceptions!
  • This will count as 16 points! (not 8, as stated on the problem)
  • Find the asymptotes and intercepts of the function, as well as some additional points, and then graph the function
  • Here's the question--it might be a good idea to do this tonight! 
    • Then you won't have weekend homework!
    • AND, by doing this tonight, you're doing some studying!
