A colorful college algebra project showing a rational function graph made with pasta, pipe cleaners, and pom-poms on graph paper, with a separate sheet of paper displaying related equations and calculations.

can you give me a visual example of what this project could look like. I usually like to have examples of student work, but this is the first time im teaching it and i don't have any examples to show the students. project: Name__ __ Date__ __ College Algebra-Rational Functions Project Due Date __ __ For this task, you will be creating your own original rational function. Your function must include: 1) At least one vertical asymptote (3 extra credit points for two vertical asymptotes) 2) A horizontal asymptote 3) Exactly one hole 4) At least one -intercept 5) A -intercept However, there is a catch! Other than drawing and labeling your axes (which should be done in sharpie), your rational function may not be done by hand. You are required to use other types of material in order to create your function (examples include raw macaroni, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, etc.). You must use at least three different types of materials (one type for the asymptotes, one type for the intercepts/hole, and one type for the curves of the function). You will be given a piece of graph paper to create your function on. You will then attach the graph paper to a sheet of cardstock (also given to you). On a separate piece of paper, you will be required to include all of the work for building your function and graphing your function as if it were a quiz question (if you do not show all work, you will not receive full credit). On the day the assignment is due, I will be collecting the cardstock with Mehr sehen
