Consider the graph of a series of rational functions with denominator of the form x – a, where 1 < a < 2.
Keep your eye on:
1) the position of the vertical asymptote
2) the diagonal distance between the two “halves” of the graph.

Extension:
• What would happen if we explored the same relationship from the left side of the asymptote? i.e.
• How would the graph change, etc.?
