Study Notes
Rational Functions
- When the value of the denominator polynomial becomes zero, the rational function is undefined.
- A characteristic of rational functions is that they can be expressed as the quotient of two polynomials.
- The general form of a rational function is f(x) = p(x) / q(x), where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials.
