Precalculus Notes8

The document provides a series of mathematical problems related to finding vertical, horizontal, and slant asymptotes, as well as identifying holes in functions. It includes specific functions and asks for the asymptotic behavior and values at certain points. The problems are structured in a circuit format, where each answer leads to the next question until returning to the starting point.

Establishing Vertical, Horizontal, and Slant Asymptotes and Holes

Directions: Complete the following circuit by starting with the problem in cell #1. Solve the problem in cell #1 and find
your answer in one of the other remaining cells and label that cell #2. Continue the pattern until the answer to your
last problem puts you back in cell #1.
