Graph Simple Rational Functions Finding Horizontal Asymptotes with a Rational Function
If the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator, then the horizontal asymptote of the rational function is the ratio of the leading coefficients.

Graph Rational Functions After finding the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, we need to find the places where the function crosses the xaxis. We will need to find the zeros of the numerator.
