Is a function that is a fraction and has the property that both its numerator and denominator are polynomials.

131
Q

Is R(x)= (-2x^5+4x^2-1/x^9) a rational function?

A

yes, both numerator and denominator are polynomials!

132
Q

Is R(x)= 1/((x-1)(x^2+3)) a rational function?

A

yes, both numerator and denominator are polynomials!

133
Q

Is R(x)= (sqrt(x) + x^2)/(3x^2-9x+2) a rational function?

A

no, in order for a number to be considered “polynomial” it must be a real number. The square root is not an integers.

134
Q

Def of Polynomial:

A

Is any function of the form f(x)=a^n

a= real numbers and the exponents of each x is a non-negative integer!

135
Q

How do we find the Vertical Asymptotes using a rational function?

A

First make sure there is no common factors and if there isnt then set the denominator = 0 and solve for the variable.

136
Q

How do we find Horizontal Asymptotes?

A

Look at the degrees of the polynomial.

137
Q

Whats the HA? F(x)= 2x/3x^2+1

A

138
Q

Whats the HA? F(x)= 2x^2/3x^2+1

A

HA: y=2/3

139
Q

Whats the HA? F(x)= 2x^3/3x^2+1

A

HA: DNE

140
Q

What is the HA? F(x)= 1/(x-2)(x-3)

A

HA: y=0

141
Q

What is a conjugate? And give an example:

A

A conjugate is a binomial where the sign on the second term has been switched. 2+3i -> 2-3i

142
Q

Def: Composite Function

A

Is the use of the output of one function as the input of another. f(g(x))

143
Q

Def: Finite Sequence and give an example:

A

Sequences that end

The alphabet starts with A ends with Z

144
Q

Def: Infinite Sequence

A

Sequences that keep on going and going

145
Q

Def: Geometric Sequence

A

Is a sequence of numbers where each number is found by multiplying the previous number by a constant.

146
Q

What’s the Recursive Rule formula?

A

an = a(n-1) +1
