Parent Functions
Go to https://dashboard.blooket.com/set/6344b26040e455c01c1d85b1 and play the
Blooket when logged into an account.
The functions on this slide are the main functions we will go over in algebra 2, although the Blooket contains even more parent graphs (some are not functions, only equations).

Domain Interval Notation: (-∞, -3) ∪ (-3, -1) ∪ (-1, 1) ∪ (1, ∞)
Everything is in domain besides the excluded values (Holes and VAs).
Horizontal Asymptote (HA): y = 0; look at the leading coefficients of each part; it is 9x/1x^2 in this case.
Change it so that both leading terms have the same degree: 0x^2/1x^2. Divide the leading coefficients. 0/1=0
X-Intercept: (3, 0); set the simplified numerator = 0 9(x-3)=0
Y-Intercept: (0, 27); Evaluate f(0): 9(0-3)/(0-1)(0+1) = 9(-3)/(-1)(1) = -27/-1 = 27
