Rational Transformations Holes Asymptotes Domain Range

What is a rational function?

• A function that is a fraction of polynomials p(x) and q(x)

• A function that is a product of polynomials p(x) and q(x)

• A function that is a sum of polynomials p(x) and q(x)

• A function that is a difference of polynomials p(x) and q(x)

The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers except the roots of the ​ (a)   polynomial.

• denominator
• numerator

x-intercepts, also known as roots, are the points where the graph of a rational function meets the x-axis and are the roots of the ​ ​ (a)   polynomial

​ (a)   asymptotes may occur at the real zeros of the denominator

• Vertical
• Horizontal
• Slant

To determine if a graph has a horizontal asymptote, you compare the degree n of the numerator to the degree m of the denominator.

• y = 0

• n > m

• n = m

• No horizontal asymptote

• n < m

Graphs can sometimes cross a horizontal asymptote.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

This is true.

Asymptotes apply to end behavior, therefore the graph may cross the horizontal asymptote when it is closer to zero.
