Activity
Below is a graph with some highlighted key points.
After you complete the activity below you should be able to identify the following:
~ Zeros of the function
~ Factors of the function
~ Vertical asymptote (if any)
~ Negative and positive regions
~ The rational function
~ The number line with the zeros and +/- regions
~ The rational inequality
~ Solution Set
This is the graph that will be used for Activities 1 and 2.
Activity 1 - Determine the Rational Inequality <--Click on the title to access this activity.
~ As you answer the questions, record them on paper.
~ Draw a number line with the regions and zeros; this will help as you complete this activity.
~ You are not handing anything in.
~ This activity will help you understand the process of finding a rational inequality given a graph.
Activity 2 - Analyzing a Rational Inequality Graph <--Click on the title to access this activity.
~ This activity reinforces what you did in Activity 1.
~ Click on each marker to describe the function's behavior.
~ You will be directed to an element of the graph with possible solutions.
~ Click on the answer that best describes the function's behavior.
~ You can always click "Back" to view the function's graph.
~ To check your answers, click the "checkmark" (lower right)
Have fun!
