The use of digital images of real-life phenomena and interactive software to carry out mathematics investigations to determine a mathematical model. The author uses student created digital images superimposed in Geometers Sketchpad or Cabri Geometry. Students determine the regression equation using a graphing utility.

Under the backdrop of the investigation of rational functions and their respective curved asymptotes, the reader is invited to experience the mathematical process alongside the authors and observe the application of the NCTM Process Standards and the use of multiple representations in the investigation and solution of a problem. Inquiry into the behavior of functions and relation to asymptotes is processed through the use of Geometers Sketchpad and handheld graphing utilities.
