1. Consider the function .
a) Determine the key features of the function:
i) domain and range
ii) intercepts
iii) equations of any asymptotes
Y
b) Sketch a graph of the function (on the right).
2.Write an equation for the graph of the rational function shown. Explain your reasoning.
2 g f x
My reasoning for this is because when I
graphed 1 b) they were the same, so I
believe that they are the same function
