Graphing a rational function with no horizontal asymptote

The video tutorial explains how to graph a function by identifying vertical and horizontal asymptotes, finding x- and y-intercepts, and plotting points. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the behavior of the graph near asymptotes and using a graphing calculator for accuracy.

What is the first step to graphing the function mentioned in the text?

How do you determine the vertical asymptote of the function?

What is the significance of the degrees of the numerator and denominator in relation to horizontal asymptotes?

Explain how to find the x-intercept of the function.

What is the y-intercept of the function and how is it calculated?

Describe the process of finding points to the left and right of the graph.

What should you ensure when graphing the function in relation to the asymptotes?
