Can you find a rational function f(x)=P(x)/Q(x), where P(x) is a polynomial of degree 1, Q(x) is a polynomial of degree 2, such that the domain of f(x) contains all real numbers.

Step 1
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. For a rational function, the only values that are not in the domain are those that make the denominator Q(x) equal to zero, since division by zero is Show more…

Find the second-degree polynomial $P(x)$ such that $P(0)=1$ $P^{\prime}(0)=0,$ and $$\int \frac{P(x)}{x^{3}(x-1)^{2}} d x$$ is a rational function.

State whether the function is a polynomial. a rational function (but not a polynomial), or neither a polynomial nor a rational function. If the function is a polynomial, give the degree. $$F(x)=\frac{x^{3}-3 x^{3 / 2}+2 x}{x^{2}-1}$$.
