Learn how to find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes

The video tutorial reviews transformations, focusing on horizontal transformations and reflections. It explains the importance of factoring out B to identify horizontal transformations accurately. The tutorial discusses vertical and horizontal asymptotes, emphasizing that shifting affects vertical asymptotes while horizontal ones remain unchanged. It covers finding X and Y intercepts, highlighting that a rational expression equal to zero has no X intercepts if it results in a false statement. The tutorial concludes with a problem-solving approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding asymptotes and intercepts.

What is the correct approach to identify horizontal transformations in a function?

• Factor out the B value

• Factor out the C value

• Factor out the A value

• Factor out the H value

How does shifting a graph to the left affect its vertical asymptote?

• It moves the asymptote to the right

• It moves the asymptote upwards

• It moves the asymptote to the left

• It does not affect the asymptote

What remains unchanged when there is no vertical shift in a graph?

• X intercept

• Y intercept

• Vertical asymptote

• Horizontal asymptote

What is the result when you set the numerator of a rational expression to zero?

• You find the Y intercept

• You find the X intercept

• You find the vertical asymptote

• You find the horizontal asymptote

How do you determine the Y intercept of a function?

• Set X to zero and solve for Y

• Set Y to zero and solve for X

• Set both X and Y to zero

• Set the denominator to zero
