Abstract
A method and a digital device for evaluating a generalized rational function are provided in which the evaluation of the generalized rational function includes computing all discontinuities of the generalized rational function, determining, for each discontinuity, whether or not the discontinuity is a removable discontinuity, wherein the determining includes determining whether or not the generalized random function approaches a point near the discontinuity, and displaying each removable discontinuity. A method for evaluating a generalized rational function on a handheld graphing calculator is provided that includes determining whether or not the generalized rational function has at least one asymptote and displaying the at least one asymptote on a display screen when the generalized rational function has the at least one asymptote.
