Independent Practice 2
True or False. Tell whether each of the following is true or false. If the
statement is wrong change the underlined word to make it correct. Write
your answer on the space provided before each number.
1. An intercept is a line (or a curve) that the graph of a
function gets close to but does not touch.
2. If n>d, there is no horizontal asymptote.
3. To determine the vertical asymptote of a rational function,
find the zeroes of the numerator.
4. If n <d, the vertical asymptote is y = 0.
5. The horizontal asymptote of f(x) = 2 is y = 1
6. The vertical asymptote of f(x)
(x-1)(x+3)
are x = 1 and
x21
Share
1. false - asymptote never touch, intercept cross lines
2. true
3. false - set the denominator equal to 0
4. true
5. false - y=2
6. false - no vertical asymptote
