Rational Expressions Graphing

If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator,

• there is no horizontal asymptote.

• the horizontal asmptote is the y axis.

• the horizontal azymptote is the lead coefficient of the numerator over the lead coefficient of the denomiator

• The horizontal asymptote is y = 0

• (-2, 0)

• (0,-2)

• (2,0)

• (0,2)

• There is no hole.
