Rational Functions: Ignored Too Long in the High School Curriculum.

Hornsby, E. John, Jr.; Cole, Jeffery A.

Mathematics Teacher, v79 n9 p691-98 Dec 1986

Much can be learned from a study of rational functions and the behavior of their graphs, so their inclusion in secondary school mathematics textbooks is urged. Analysis of reciprocal relationships and when they don't apply, asymptotes, and the graphing technique are each included in the discussion. (MNS)
