Graphing Rational Functions (Worksheet) - AK

This document provides instructions for graphing rational functions. It defines 10 rational functions and has students identify their: [1] domain, [2] holes, [3] vertical and horizontal asymptotes, [4] x- and y-intercepts. It then has students sketch the graphs of functions 5 through 10 based on these key features. The document provides a thorough analysis of the components needed to graph different types of rational functions.
