−3 x +2 x
1. f ( x )= 2. f (x)=
−4 x −7 2
x +1
vertical asymptotes

horizontal asymptote

domain

x−1
B. Given: f ( x )=
x−5

Find the Do the following

domain Find all x values which do not make the
denominator zero

Vertical asymptotes Find all x values which make the

denominator of the reduced function is zero.

Horizontal Use the degree of the polynomial in the

asymptotes numerator and denominator, as indicated
above.
y intercept If 0 is NOT in the domain, there is NO
y intercept
If 0 is in the domain, 𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 is the
value of the function at 𝑥=0

x intercept Find all x values which make the numerator

zero but the denominator in nonzero.
Range Graph the function.
