9. GRAPH Graph .

SOLUTION:

represents a transformation of the graph of .

a = 3 The graph is stretched vertically.

h = 2 The graph is translated right 2 units.

k = 1 The graph is translated up 1 unit.

The horizontal asymptote is f(x) = 1.

The domain is {x | x ≠ 2}.

The range is {f(x) | f(x) ≠ 1}.

Identify the values of a, h, and k. Then write a function for the graph .

10. OPEN RESPONSE Identify the values of a, h, and k. Then write a function for the graph .

SOLUTION:

The asymptotes are x = –3 and y = –1.

So, h = –3 and k = –1. Use a point on the graph to solve for a.

Mod 7 Test Practice

a. Find the x- and y- intercepts.

b. Find any asymptotes.

SOLUTION:

Find the x-intercept.

There is an x-intercept at 2 but x ≠ 2 so the x-intercept is undefined.

Find the y-intercept.

Find the asymptotes.

Because the degree of the numerator equals the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is the line

y= , so y = 1.

Find the vertical asymptote. Set b(x) = 0.
