Bellwork reviewed problems from Sections 9-2, 9-3, & 9-6

Hwk #4 is due today.

The remainder of the period we discussed graphing Rational Functions by finding the x & y intercepts, Vertical Asymptotes, Horizontal Asymptotes, and the graphs behavior around each asymptote.

Hwk #5 is due on Thursday.

Practice Sheet Sec 9-3

Monday, February 8, 2016

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:

Friday, February 5, 2016

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.

Thursday, February 4, 2016

Bellwork reviewed graphs and equations of transformed Reciprocal Functions.

The remainder of the period we finished our discussion on Sec 9-2:  The Reciprocal Function.

We then began discussing Sec 9-3:  Graphs of Rational Functions.  We discussed how to find points of discontinuity and classifying them as either Vertical Asymptotes or Holes.

Hwk #2 is due tomorrow.  Practice Sheet for Sec 9-2.
