Question

Drag each tile to the correct location. These graphs are all rational functions. Classify the graphs based on how many vertical asymptotes they have.

Answer 1

Explanation:

a vertical asymptote goes up and down.

the horizontal ones (like the horizon) go left and right.

A

1 vertical asymptote at x = 0

B

2 vertical asymptotes at x = -1 and x = +1

C

no vertical asymptote (whatever vertical line you can think of, it will always really cross the graph in finite space)

D

1 vertical asymptote at x = 3

E

like A

F

2 vertical asymptotes at x = -1 and x = +4
