What value can be excluded from the domain of ?
x + 3
x = -3
x = 5
x = 0
Given two rational functions & , if and and and and , then what can we conclude about their graphs?
They have exactly the same graph throughout.
Their graphs never intersect each other.
They are parallel to each other.
They intersect each other at least once but do not have the same graph.
Given ; how would you describe 's behaviour as 'x' nears negative infinity?
G(X) increases rapidly due to the sixth power outrunning the lower degree one, causing a sharp rise overall effect
G(X) initially falls but eventually begins rising due to oscillations caused by mixing odd and even powers
G (X) decreases towards zero because the exponent “\frac{2}{3}” causes slower growth compared to the direct fifth-degree term
G(X) fluctuates between positive and negative ranges with no clear trend owing to the complexity of the expression involved
What is the end behavior of the rational function as x approaches infinity?
The function approaches -2
The function approaches 0
The function approaches 2
The function approaches infinity
What is the end behavior of the rational function as approaches infinity?
The function oscillates between positive and negative values
The function approaches infinity
The function approaches -infinity
The function approaches zero
What type of discontinuity is present at a point where a function has an asymptote?
Point discontinuity
Jump discontinuity
Infinite discontinuity
Removable discontinuity

Question #4: Which transformation could turn an oblique asymptote into a horizontal or vertical one when applied to a rational function with higher-degree terms in its numerator than its denominator?
INCORRECT 1. Stretching graph horizontally.
CORRECT. Reducing degree of numerator polynomial so it matches degree of denominator.
INCORRECT 2. Sliding graph up or down the y-axis.
INCORRECT 3. Compressing graph vertically along y axis.
What happens to the values of as approaches the vertical asymptote from the right?
The function approaches infinity
The function approaches -infinity
The function approaches the horizontal asymptote
The function decreases without bound
If a rational function has a horizontal asymptote at , what does approach as goes to infinity?
y approaches zero.
There is not enough information to determine this.
y approaches 2.
y approaches infinity.
