Question

Solve each problem. Work each of the following. Find an equation for a possible corresponding rational function.

Accepted Answer

Identify the key characteristics of the rational function you want to construct, such as vertical asymptotes, horizontal or oblique asymptotes, holes, and intercepts. These features will guide the form of the numerator and denominator polynomials. Determine the vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator equal to zero and solving for the values of $$x$$ that make the denominator zero. These values will be the roots of the denominator polynomial. Decide on the degree and form of the numerator polynomial based on the desired horizontal or oblique asymptote. For example, if the horizontal asymptote is $$y = 0$$, the degree of the numerator should be less than the degree of the denominator. Construct the rational function as a ratio of two polynomials: $$f(x) = \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}$$, where $$Q(x) is $$the denominator polynomial with roots corresponding to vertical asymptotes, and $$P(x) is $$the numerator polynomial chosen to satisfy the horizontal asymptote and any given intercepts. Verify the function by checking that it has the desired vertical asymptotes, horizontal or oblique asymptotes, and any specified intercepts or holes. Adjust the polynomials if necessary to meet all conditions.
