Question

How can you graph a rational function ?

The correct answer is: 3. Find the x -intercept (s) and y -intercept of the rational function, if any


    A rational function is a function that is the ratio of polynomials. Any function of one variable, x, is called a rational function if, it can be represented as f(x) =fraction numerator straight p left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis over denominator straight q left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis end fraction, where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials such that q(x) ≠ 0.
    Rational functions are of the form y=f(x)y=fx , where f(x)fx is a rational expression .
    1. Find the asymptotes of the rational function, if any.
    2. Draw the asymptotes as dotted lines.
    3. Find the x -intercept (s) and y -intercept of the rational function, if any.
    4. Find the values of y for several different values of x .
    5. Plot the points and draw a smooth curve to connect the points. Make sure that the graph does not cross the vertical asymptotes.
