Greetings you crazy mathematicians,
We will be investigating the rational function next in Pre-Calculus. Here’s a great link to understanding the behavior of rational functions.
Answer the following questions:
1. What is a rational function?
2. How can one easily determine the asymptote or asymptotes of a rational function?
3. How does one tell the end behavior of a rational function?
4. Is there any general shape to rational functions where both numerator and denominator are first order?
5. Is there any general shape to rational functions where the order of the numerator is one greater than the order of the denominator?
6. Is there any general shape to if the denominator is of greater order than the numerator?
7. Write a list of ten key points about rational functions.
Whatever you don’t finish in class, please do at home so that we can discuss on Monday.
GOOOD!
