WEEK 3 Quiz in General Mathematics

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: This part is recorded and graded. Copy ALL the given using this format on a
separate yellow sheet of paper. The yellow paper will be submitted to your Math teachers on the day of
the scheduled retrieval.

Test I. TRUE OR FALSE:

Directions: Read and analyze the statements carefully. Write TRUE if the statement is correct, write
FALSE if the statement is false: (1pt each)

______1. Asymptote is a line that the graph of function gets close to but does not touch the graph.
______2. Y – intercept is the x-coordinate of point (x,0) where the graph crosses the x-axis.
______3. Rational equation is a function which is the ratio of polynomial functions. In symbol; f(x) =
p (x)
.
q(x)
______4. X – intercept is the x-coordinate of point (x,0) where the graph crosses the x-axis.
______5. Zero of the functions is the values of x that will make the numerator zero without
simultaneously making the denominator equal to zero.
p (x)
______6. In a rational function, f(x) = , q(x) can be equal to 0.
q(x)
______7. Vertical asymptote has no restriction for the value of x.
______8. In a rational function, there are 3 asymptote: the vertical, horizontal and oblique or slant
asymptote.
______9. Intercepts are x or y coordinates of the point at which a graph crosses the x-axis or y-axis.
x−1
______10. In f ( x )= , if x=3, the value of f ( x )=1.
