Graphing Basic and Complex Rational Functions

The video tutorial covers graphing rational functions, focusing on the parent rational function y = 1/x. It introduces the AIM acronym for graphing: Asymptotes, Intercepts, and Multiplicity. The tutorial explains how to find vertical and horizontal asymptotes, x and y intercepts, and discusses multiplicity in rational functions. It provides examples of graphing rational functions and addresses the concept of holes in these functions.

What is the parent rational function?

• y = 1/x^2

• y = x

• y = 1/x

• y = x^2

What happens to the graph of a function when there is multiplicity in the denominator?

• The function will have no intercepts

• The function will cross the asymptote

• The function will meet at the asymptote

• The function will have a double root bounce
