2. Graph the given rational functions on a calculator screen, (-9.4, 9.4, 1, -6.2, 6.2, 1, 1). Trace each function’s graph. What happens when you reach the point on a graph for the restricted x-values found in exercise 1?
Write a rule for determining the restricted values of a rational function by viewing its table of values.
Write a rule for determining the restricted values of a rational function by viewing its graph.
Write a rule for determining the restricted values of a rational function algebraically.

1. Both graphs appear to be coinciding. However, look at the table of values for x = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. What do you see?
2. Determine the restricted values for each expression.
3. Explain why the two expressions are equivalent for all valuesexcept when x = 0.
