ALGEBRA 2 # 1 – 3, 5
HONORS: # 2 – 4, 6

WITHOUT a graphing utility (i.e. don’t use Desmos or a graphing calculator – just use what you
know about rational functions), sketch the graph of each rational function. Label intercepts and
asymptotes.

5. By day Kaitlyn can drive 137.5 miles in a given time. At night she can only drive 110
miles in 30 fewer minutes, driving the same rate (speed). Find her rate (speed). Find
the time it takes her to drive 110 miles by night.
6. A small nature preserve can provide for a maximum population of 100 rabbits. An

rabbits, and 𝑛 is the number of years from now.
a. What is the current rabbit population?
b. What will the rabbit population be 5 years from now?
c. When will the rabbit population be 80 rabbits?
