    Rational Function

    This document discusses rational functions and how to determine their key characteristics: - The domain of a rational function is the set of x-values that do not make the function undefined, while the range is the set of y-values the function can produce. - Intercepts are points where the graph of the function intersects the x- or y-axis. - Zeroes are x-values that make the function equal to 0. - Asymptotes are lines that the function approaches but does not touch, including vertical asymptotes for x-values that make the function undefined, and horizontal asymptotes for the function's long-run behavior. - Examples are provided to demonstrate how to find these

    Domain and Range
    In definition, the domain, of a function is
    the set of all values that the variable 𝑥 can take while
    the range of a function is the set of all values that
    𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝑓(𝑥) can take. But how do we determine and
    write the domain and range of a rational function?

    We can write domain and range using different


    forms:
    • Roster form
    • Set-builder form / Set Notation
    • Interval Notation
    𝒙−𝟐
    Example: Find the domain and range of the function 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙+𝟐
    .

    DOMAIN RANGE
    Observe that the function is We should know that the range of
    undefined at 𝑥 = −2. This means the function is the same as the
    that 𝑥 = −2 is not part of the domain of its inverse. Operationally,
    −2𝑥−2
    domain of 𝑓 𝑥 . In addition, no we get 𝑓 −1 𝑥 = 𝑥−1 . This means
    other values of x will make the that the function is undefined in 𝑦
    function undefined. = 1.

    Intercepts of Rational
    Function
    Definition
    An intercept of a rational function is a point where the
    graph of the rational function intersects the x- or y-axis.

    b. Graphically, we will just


    locate points where the graph
    of the rational function
    intersects the x- or y-axis. We
    have done it earlier in figure 1
    so it would be better if we label
    it on the graph below.

    Horizontal Asymptote of
    Rational Function

    The horizontal broken line you have drawn in


    figure 1 is the horizontal asymptote which
    serves as boundaries to which a function's
    graph draws closer without touching it. As x
    increases or decreases without bound, f(x)
    gets closer and closer to. That is the line y=1.
    Moreover, the range defines the horizontal
    asymptote of the function. The graph below
    will show us the intercepts, zeroes and
    𝑥−2
    asymptotes of 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥+2.
