Rational Functions Puzzle
Students use the General Form of a Rational Function to connect the factors of a rational function to the... (more) x-intercepts, vertical asymptotes and holes. Students then put their knowledge into practice by assembling a puzzle matching a function's properties to its graphs and equation.
