Illustrative Mathematics: F Bf,if the Canoe Trip, Variation 2

In this task about canoeing, paddling speed, and current speed, students examine how long a trip would take at different speeds. They write a function equation, graph their equation, and explain their thinking. The primary purpose of the task is to lead students to a numerical and graphical understanding of the behavior of a rational function near a vertical asymptote, in terms of the expression defining the function. Aligns with F-IF.B.4, F-IF.B.5, and F-BF.A.1.a.
