Bellwork reviewed finding Vertical & Horizontal Asymptotes, and Holes of Rational Functions, and graphing transformed Reciprocal Functions (Sec 9-2, 9-3).

Hwk #3 is due today.

The remainder of the period we continued discussing Sec 9-3, Graphs of Rational Functions.  Students learned how to find x and y intercepts of rational functions.  They also learned what the behavior of a graph is on the left and right sides of a Vertical Asymptote.

Hwk #4 is due tomorrow:

Bellwork reviewed problems from Sections 9-2, 9-3, and 9-6.

Hwk #2 is due today.

The remainder of the period we continued our discussion on Sec 9-3.  Students worked on the Horizontal Asymptotes Exploratoin in order to discover how to find the equation of the HA of a Rational Function, if any, by using a table of values and from the information provided by the equation.

Hwk #3 is due Monday.  Sec 9-3.

Pages 505-506

Problems 2, 3, 5, 12, 13, 17, 18

Hwk #4 will be due on Tuesday, Feb. 9.  This homework is a practice sheet from Sec 9-3 and was made available to them today.
