What are the x-intercepts of the rational function f(x)?
What are the x-intercepts of the rational function f(x)?
The x-intercepts occur where the function f(x) equals zero, which is found by setting the numerator equal to zero.
How do you determine the y-intercept of the function f(x)?
How do you determine the y-intercept of the function f(x)?
The y-intercept can be found by evaluating f(0), which requires substituting x = 0 into the function.
What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote for the function f(x)?
What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote for the function f(x)?
The horizontal asymptote can be determined by analyzing the degrees of the numerator and denominator of f(x).

Study Notes
Rational Function Analysis
- Function: f(x) = (unspecified rational expression)
- x-intercepts: Find the x values where f(x) = 0. (Need the function f(x) to determine the values.)
- y-intercept: Find the y value when x = 0. (Need the function f(x) to determine the value.)
- Horizontal Asymptote: Determine the equation of the horizontal asymptote. (Need the function f(x) to determine the equation.)
- Vertical Asymptotes: Find the vertical asymptotes. (Need the function f(x) to determine the equation(s)).
- Domain: Identify the values of x for which the function is defined. (Need the function f(x) to determine the domain.)
- Graph: Graph the function, including the x-intercepts, y-intercept, asymptotes, and any crucial points. (Requires the function f(x) to produce an accurate graph.)
