WEEK 5 (Zeroes, Intercepts and Asymptotes)
WEEK 5 (Zeroes, Intercepts and Asymptotes)
For every action we make, there is
a corresponding effect. Have you
made an action or actions in your
life that significantly made you
who you are and where you are
today?
In dealing with functions, there are
also effects on every change we
introduce in equations. And these
determine the outcomes.
Intercepts,Zeroes and
Asymptotes of a
Rational functions
LEARNING TARGET/S:
1. I can determine the:
a. Intercepts
b. Zeroes, and
c. Asymptotes of rational functions
2. I can graph a rational function.
Peace Value:
Competence: I can differentiate and solve problems involving
intercepts, zeroes, and asymptotes of a rational function.

y =x–3 y = 0–3
0 = x – 3
y =– 3
-x = -3
x = 3

Graphing a function of x and y –
intercepts.
y = 5x + 7
x – intercept ; y = 0 y – intercept ; x = 0
y = 5x + 7 y = 5(0) + 7
0 = 5x + 7
y= 7
-5x = 7
x = -7/5
(0,7) – y - intercept
(-7/5,0) – x - intercept
(0,7)
y = 5x +7
(-7/5,0)
