Think of a rational function. The value of y is 0 when
x is 0. Again let's differentiate the function. Then, we have
. We can have two points, (1,0) and (-3,0) from
, and in those
points the function
are supposed to change the signs of slopes
of tangent lines. The following graph is
and y=1. Students
can know that the horizontal line y=1 is asymptote.
Let us analyze the differential function, with a graph
from Algebra Expressor. Can you see the relation between
and
?
The next picture is a combination of ,
, and y=1.
