Graphing Rational Functions Part 2

This document provides instructions on graphing rational functions by identifying their key characteristics: vertical and horizontal asymptotes, center point, and domain and range. It then gives 10 examples of rational functions to graph, identifying their asymptotes, center points, and stating the domain and range for each. The purpose is to demonstrate how to graph different types of rational functions by determining their important graphical features.
