Curve Sketching with Asymptotes - A Step by Step Example Using Calculus
This video describes four steps that can be used to draw the graph of a rational function. An example function with both vertical and horizontal asymptotes is then graphed using the four steps.
To graph a rational function you need to know how to apply the quotient rule, have an understanding of asymptotes, and know how to express intervals using interval notation. More information about these topics can be found below:
