WORKSHEET #2_PART 2
PROPERTIES OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Directions:

a) Write an equation to represent the function

b) Identify its properties/ characteristics
c) Sketch the graph with complete label showing all the properties.

1. The reciprocal parent function is translated 8 units left and 3 units up. Write an equation to represent
this function, then, identify the asymptotes (vertical, horizontal or slant), domain, range, x and y
intercepts, and sketch the graph with complete label.

2. The reciprocal parent function is reflected across the x-axis, then translated 5 units right and 7 units
down. Write an equation that could represent the new function, then identify the asymptotes (vertical,
horizontal or slant), domain, range, x and y intercepts, and sketch the graph with complete label.

3. Write a rational function with an x intercept at (-9, 0), a vertical asymptote at x = 3, and a hole located
at (1, -5), then identify the horizontal asymptote, domain, range, x and y intercepts, and sketch the
graph with complete label

4. The rational function has an x-intercept at (-1, 0) and vertical asymptotes at x = 7 and x = -5. Write an
equation that could represent this function, then identify the horizontal asymptote, domain, range, x
and y intercepts, and sketch the graph with complete label.
