Graph of Rational Function

The graph is asymptotic to both
xand y-axis. The lines y = 0 and x =
0 are called horizontal and vertical
asymptotes, respectively.

The asymptote serves as a

“restriction” or a “boundary” in
which the graph cannot passes
through. You can easily determine
the domain and the range of a
function by merely looking at the
asymptotes.
A. Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes
How many horizontal
asymptote/s can you see in the
graph? Name the asymptote/s.

How many vertical asymptote/s

can you see in the graph?
Name the asymptote/s.

How do you identify and name

the vertical and horizontal
asymptotes of the graph of a
Rational Function?
 B. Intercepts
To determine the x-intercept, set your ordinate to 0 and solve for x.
To determine the y-intercept, set your abscissa to 0 and solve for y

Determine the x and

y-intercept of the
 C. Zeroes
To determine the zeroes, simply follow the steps in solving for the x-
intercepts.

In some cases, not all x-solutions are zeroes nor x-intercepts. They
are known as HOLES. These happens if the input value of x causes
both the numerator and the denominator equal to 0.
In the function you might say that the zeroes of the function are x
= 1 and x = - 2, yet, if we substitute 1 to the x in the numerator and
denominator, it will make the expressions 0.

Thus, x = - 2 is the only zero and x = 1 is a hole in the graph.
