Study Notes
Rational Functions
- Rational functions are helpful for calculating costs.
- Costs of manufacturing an item depend on variable and fixed costs.
- Often, rational functions emerge when expressing these costs.
- Analyzing average costs involves examining the graph of the cost-per-unit rational function.
- Key features of a rational function determine how answers are derived.
