For each of the rational functions below (#7 through #10), complete the following steps: A) Write down the equations for the vertical asymptotes. B) Using long division or synthetic substitution where appropriate, determine the equations for any slant or end-behavior asymptotes. C) With dotted lines or curves, draw and label the asymptotes on the graphs provided. D) Then, with the aid of a calculator, sketch the graph of each function. 7) 4 f ( ) A) Vertical Asymptote: B) Slant Asymptote: y + 3 8) + 11 8 f ( ) 4 6 A) Vertical Asymptote: 1.5 B) Slant Asymptote: y -(½) + 01, TESCCC 10/09/1 page 7 of 8
