Exploration 8 – Shifting and Stretching Rational Functions 1. Sketch the graph of each function. 3( )f x x 3 ( ) 1 2 f x x Domain: Range: Domain: Range: vertical horizontal vertical horizontal asymptote: asymptote: asymptote: asymptote: x-intercept: y-intercept: x-intercept: y-intercept: How do you find the domain and vertical asymptote of a rational function? How did you find the range and horizontal asymptote of THIS rational function? How do you find the x-intercept of a function? How do you find the y-intercept of a function? Graphing 3 ( ) 1 2 f x x is relatively easy. Re-write the function rule as a single fraction by subtracting the 1. Then find each of the following for the newly written function. Domain: Range: x-intercept: y-intercept: vertical horizontal asymptote: asymptote: How do you find the equation of the horizontal asymptote for THIS type of function? WebAssign Problem: Graph the function, 2 4 ( ) 1 x f x x , by shifting and stretching the function, 1( )f x x . The horizontal shift is ______________________ because ________________________________. The vertical shift is ______________________ because ___________________________________. To find the stretch, you must re-write the function, 2 4 ( ) 1 x f x x , in 1( )f x x form, by setting the two rules equal and solving for c. Then sketch the graph below. For the group submission: Graph the function, 2 2 ( ) 1 x f x x , by shifting and stretching the function, 1( )f x x . Horizontal Shift: Vertical Shift: Stretch: vertical horizontal x-intercept: y-intercept: asymptote: asymptote: Domain: Range: Group Submission for Investigation #8 Write group member names legibly here: Graph the function, 2 2 ( ) 1 x f x x , by shifting and stretching the function, 1( )f x x .
