2.2 – Vertical & Horizontal Asymptotes

 To find horizontal asymptotes look for errors/impossibilities in the
domain.

 To find vertical asymptotes check the behaviour of x as it approaches

infinity and negative infinity

 x−¿ ∞ , y →

 x →−∞ , y →

Example
5
y= +1
2−x

2.3 – Curve Sketching Menu

 Determine domain/range and asymptotes

 Figure out the ___________________ - intercepts

 Use calculus to find stationary points and inflection points , remember to

completely demonstrate understanding you should prove their nature!

 Check behaviours of the graph as x → ± ∞ as well as x → vertical asymptotes

 Sketch the graph and label it
