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 visible by using the transformations of the parent function. By writing rational functions into equivalent functions, scholars determine whether they can be graphed using the same transformations.
