AA1 Reciprocal and Rational Functions: a good start

Recall: Restrictions on the domain

 Zero in the denominator

 Negative under square root sign

Recall: Restrictions on the range

 graph the function and look at anyplace y-values not reached.

 E.g. y = x2 – 5

Rational Functions…. The asymptotes show the way!

State the domain and range and asymptotes.
