R AT I O N A L F U N C T I O N
A function that can be represented in ratio or
fraction.

f(x)=
Q(x
where Q(x))≠ 0
 Examples

x+1 x
f(x)= f(x)=
x 3

x²+2x+1 x-3
f(x)= f(x)=
x+1 x²+3
 INTERCEPT
W H AT I S the point where the graph intercepts with
the y-axis or the x-axis

ZEROES OF A FUNCTION ASYMPTOTE

the values of x which makes the function a line that gets closer and closer to
equal to zero another line but it never intersects
