Alternative to test on rational functions:

Instead of writing the entire test next week, you may instead write just the last section of it, which is the problem-solving section, as long as you’ve also done a geogebra about the rational function.

Here’s what the geogebra needs to have in it:

  • Sliders to show the graph and equation of any rational function y = a/b(x – h)  + k for any values of a, b, h, and k.
  • The corresponding asymptotes, their equations, the centre of the function, and its coordinates
  • The coordinates of the zero (Z) of the function, if it exists (you must use a formula, not a button)
  • The coordinates of the y-intercept (I) of the function, if it exists (you must use a formula, not a button)
  • The coordinates of a point P on the function whose position is controlled by a slider with the name t.
  • Text boxes that appear/disappear, and display the following info:
    • whether the function increases/decreases
    • what the domain and range are
    • when there is no zero
    • when there is no y-intercept
  • Bonus: Display the solution to the inequation f(x) > 0.

Due Tuesday Dec 10. Of course, if you’d like to do the geogebra and the test, you are more than welcome to do so!
