2. Explain why the function

is not asymptotic
to the line x = 3. Sketch the graph of this function.
3. Sketch the graph of

and give its domain,


intercepts, asymptotes, and range.
4. Sketch the graph of

and give its


domain, intercepts, and asymptotes.

5. After a drug is injected into a patient’s bloodstream, the


concentration c of the drug in the bloodstream t minutes
after the injection is given by
. Sketch the graph of c. Identify the horizontal asymptote
of c, and discuss its meaning in practical terms.

6. A challenging riddle. I am a rational function having a


vertical asymptote at the lines x = 3 and x = –3, and a
horizontal asymptote at y = 1. If my only x-intercept is 5,
and my y-intercept is –5/9, what function am I?
