What is the general form of a linear rational function?

y=ax+bcx+dy = \frac{ax + b}{cx + d}

How do you find the x-intercept of y=ax+bcx+dy = \frac{ax + b}{cx + d}?

Set y=0y = 0 and solve; numerator = 0

Where does the vertical asymptote occur for y=x+1x−4y = \frac{x+1}{x-4}?

x=4x = 4

How do you find the horizontal asymptote of a linear rational function?

Rearrange to make xx the subject, then set denominator = 0

What is the y-intercept of y=x+ax−2y = \frac{x+a}{x-2} where a>0a > 0?

(0,−a2)(0, -\frac{a}{2})

What are asymptotes?

Lines the curve approaches but never touches

What should you do first when sketching a linear rational function?

Find intercepts and asymptotes

What is the best approach for solving rational inequalities?

Sketch both functions and find intersections

Why test values like x=1000x = 1000 or x=−1000x = -1000?

To determine end behavior near horizontal asymptote

What is a common trap when finding horizontal asymptotes?

Using wrong form; must make xx the subject
