Points of discontinuity
1. Factor numerator/ denominator
2. Find out what number makes it zero
3. If one of the numbers in the denominator is the same as the numerator
it is a removable discontinuity and is the first step in finding the hole
4. Nonremovable is the vertical asymptote VA: X= #
Vertical Asymptote
1. Same steps as points of discontinuity
2. But after you cross off any removables remaining x value in
denominator is the vertical Asymptote
Horizontal Asymptote
factor
Common denominator
Write as 1 fraction
Multiply/ combine like terms
Re-factor numerator
Simplify if possible
Complex numbers
Goal: 1 fraction in numerator, 1 in denominator, multiply by reciprocal
