What is an asymptote?
• An asymptoteasymptote is an imaginary line being approached but never touched or intersected by a graph as it goes through infinity.
Example 1: Sketch the graph of a rational function
g xx
( ) 3
2V. A : x = 2
H. A : y = 0
g (0) = - 3/2
g (3) = 3
Example 2: Sketch the graph of
f xx
x x( )
2 2V. A : x = 2, x = -1
H. A : y = 0
f(0) = 0
f(1) = - 1/2
f(-2) = - 1/2
f(3) = 3/4
The square root function is actually the inverse operation of the quadratic function.

Remember that it is not possible to get the square root of a negative number, therefore the values that are chosen for x in the table of values must be strategic.

It is possible however, to use non-perfect squares with this function. You will end uo with an irrational y-value that needs to be rounded off but that’s okay. It just makes it a little more awkward to plot on the graph.
xxf )(
If we play with parameter ‘a’, we can see its effect on the resulting graph.
xxf )( a = 1xxf 2)( a = 2

)( axxf xxf )( a = -1
If we play with parameter ‘b’, we can see its effect on the resulting graph.
xxf )( a = 1 xxf 2)( b = 2
21
;21
)( bxxf xxf )( b = -1
The signs of parameters a and b determine which way the square root function moves from its vertex.
xxf )( a = +; b = +
xxf )( a = -; b = +
xxf )( a = -; b = -xxf )( a = +; b = -
