STEP 1
2. FIND THE Y-INTERCEPT (IF
THERE IS ONE) BY EVALUATING
.

STEP 2
3. FIND THE X-INTERCEPTS (IF
THERE ARE ANY) BY SOLVING THE
EQUATION

STEP 3
COMES FROM
THE GREEK
WORD
SYMMETRIA,
MEANING
"THE SAME
SYMMETRY
MEASURE."
4. FIND ANY VERTICAL
ASYMPTOTE(S) (IF THERE IS ONE)
USING THE RULE FOR
DETERMINING THE HORIZONTAL
ASYMPTOTE OF A RATIONAL
FUNCTION.

STEP4
5. PLOT AT LEAST ONE POINT
BETWEEN AND BEYOND EACH X-
INTERCEPT AND VERTICAL
ASYMPTOTE.

STEP 5
6. GRAPH THE FUNCTION (USE THE
INFORMATION OBTAINED
PREVIOUSLY TO GRAPH THE
FUNCTION BETWEEN AND BEYOND
THE VERTICAL ASYMPTOTES.
