Graphing Rational Functions: Step 1 Find The DOMAIN. Find The INTERCEPTS

This document provides steps for graphing rational functions: 1) find the domain, 2) find intercepts, 3) find any holes by factoring the numerator and denominator, 4) find any asymptotes including vertical, horizontal, and slant asymptotes, 5) find additional points, and 6) sketch the graph by drawing asymptotes, labeling intercepts and points, and completing the curve. It then provides three examples of rational functions to graph.
