CONCEPT NOTES
INTERCEPTS AND ZEROES OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
The intercepts of the graph of a rational function are the points of intersection of its
graph and an axis.
The y-intercept of the graph of a rational function r(x) if it exists, occurs at r(0),
provided that r(x) is defined at x = 0. To find y-intercept simply evaluate the function
at x = 0.
The x-intercept of the graph of a rational function r(x), if it exists, occurs at the zeros
of the numerator that are not zeros of the denominators. To find x – intercept equate
the function to 0.
The zeroes of a function are the values of x which make the function zero. The
numbered zeroes are also x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
