Analyzing the Graphs of Functions: Analyzing a Rational Function

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Analyzing the Graphs of Functions: Analyzing a Rational Function interactive also includes:
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

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 increase and decrease of the newly transformed rational function.
