- Investigating Asymptotes on the Graph of Rational Functions
Consider the rational function f(x)=x−21 .- Complete the table of values below, then plot the points on the grid.

y=f(x)=x−21
- What is the non-permissible value of the rational function?
- Now, let's investigate the behaviour of the rational function near the non-permissible value by plotting more points close to the non-permissible value.
