Key Concepts

X-intercepts

X-intercepts are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis, which occur when the numerator of the rational function equals zero (provided that the corresponding factors do not cancel out with the denominator). They indicate the roots of the numerator polynomial.

Horizontal Asymptotes

Horizontal asymptotes describe the end behavior of a rational function as x tends toward positive or negative infinity. They are determined by comparing the degrees of the numerator and the denominator; if the degrees are equal, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of the leading coefficients.

Removable Discontinuities (Holes)

Removable discontinuities, or holes, occur at points where a factor in the numerator and denominator cancels each other out. Although the function is not defined at these specific x-values, the graph is typically smooth and continuous everywhere else in the vicinity.

Rational Functions

Rational functions are functions expressed as the ratio of two polynomials. Their behavior is largely determined by the factors in the numerator and denominator, which control features such as intercepts, asymptotes, and discontinuities.

Vertical Asymptotes

Vertical asymptotes occur where the denominator of a rational function equals zero and the corresponding factor does not cancel with the numerator. They represent values of x where the function exhibits unbounded behavior, often depicted as lines the graph approaches but never crosses.
