side of the vertical asymptote
function:_____________________________
π‘₯ = βˆ’π‘’
Vertical Asymptote:______________
𝑦=𝑓
Horizontal Asymptote:___________
There is always a vertical and
horizontal asymptote.
Range:
β„œ, 𝑦 β‰  𝑓

Domain: ________________
Set x=0 and solve. If there is no e,
then there is no y-intercept
Y-intercept:_______________________________
This is the same thing
as an x-intercept.
You can use the trace
feature on your calc
to approximate
Find the
Set y=0 and solve. You will have to cross multiply to solve for x.
Zero(s):________________________________
If there is no parameter f, there
is no zero.
