Exam questions on Rational function graphs

  1. The curve CC has equation y=2x+1x−3y=\dfrac{2x+1}{x-3}.
    Find the coordinates of the points where CC meets the coordinate axes.2 marks
  2. The curve CC has equation y=3xx+2y=\dfrac{3x}{x+2}.
    Determine whether CC lies above or below its horizontal asymptote when xx is large and positive.2 marks
  3. The curve CC has equation y=x+3x−2y=\dfrac{x+3}{x-2} and the line LL has equation y=5x−9y=5x-9.
