3.3 Rational Functions of the Form f(x) (ax+b)/(cx+d)

Properties of : Rational Functions of the form f(x) = (ax+b)/(cx+d)

Horizontal asymptotes If n < m, y="0 If n = m, the horizontal asymptote is y = (coefficient of the x^n term) / (coefficient of the x^m term) If n > m, there is no horizontal asymptote.

Vertical asymptotes X = restriction of domain

y- intercept : to find y-intercept, x =0 Eg: y=(2x^2+ 4)/(x-2) y-intercept is -2

x- intercept : to find x-intercept, y =0 Eg: y=x/(x-2) x-intercept is 0

Domain (2x^2+ 3)/(x+ 3) Domain : {x є R / x ≠ -3}

Given an equation, (x-3)(x+2)/ x+2 f(x) = 3 Therefore, f(x) simplifies to a linear relationship. This is a special case of a line that is discontinuous where x cannot be 2.

3.2 Reciprocal of a Quadratic Function Example : y= 1/x^2

Function

The function is positive when xЄ(-∞,0) U (0,∞). The function is increasing when xЄ(-∞,0) while its decreasing when xЄ(0,∞).

The slope is positive and increasing when xЄ(-∞,0) while the slope is negative and increasing when xЄ(0,∞).

End behaviour

As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches 0 from above. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches 0 from the above also. As x approaches 0 from right, f(x) approaches a positive infinity. As x approaches 0 from left, f(x) approaches a positive infinity too.

X-intercepts

none

Asymptotes

Vertical

vertical asymptote is also x=0.

y=0 is a horizontal asymptote as the function will never touch the x-axis.

Range

The range is yЄR y> 0 since f(x) can never be a zero.

Let the denominator be 0 to find out the domain and the vertical asymptote x(x)=0 x=0 Therefore the domain is xЄR x 0
