create a rational function with a linear binomial in both the numerator and denominator. part 1. graph your function using technology. include the horizontal and vertical asymptotes and the x- and y-intercepts on your graph. label the asymptotes and intercepts. part 2. show all work to identify the vertical asymptote, the x-intercepts, and the y-intercept.

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
