Rational Functions Activity

RATIONAL FUNCTIONS – ACTIVITY (A)
OBJECTIVE:
In this activity, students will work cooperatively in a group of four persons each (a quartet), to
analyze the given rational function. Students will factor the rational functions, find their x and y
intercepts and horizontal and vertical asymptotes, all also graph the function.
