For this function, we can see that $(x -1)$ is a factor shared by the numerator and denominator, so there is a hole at $x = 1$. Simplify $f(x)$ then substitute $x = 1$ into the simplified form of $f(x)$.$ \begin{aligned} f(x) &= \dfrac{-2\cancel{(x – 1)}(x ...

A removable discontinuity occurs in the graph of a rational function atx=ax=aifaais a zero for a factor in the denominator that is common with a factor in the numerator. We factor the numerator and denominator and check for common factors. If we find any, we set the common factor equal ...
Rational functions come with certain restrictions on their domains. The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers except the values that make the denominator equal to zero. In our example above, the rational function f(x) = (3x^2 + 2x + 1)/(x^2+ 5x + 6) is de...
Find an equation for the rational function which has a zero at x=2, a hole at x=7, and asymptotes at x=5 and y=4. Hole and Asymptotes Of a Rational Function: If y=f(x) is a rational function and (i) x=a is a hole, then (x...
The intercepts of a function are the values of x when f(x) = 0 and the value of f(x) when x = 0, corresponding to the coordinate values of x and y where the graph of the function crosses the x- and y-axes. Find the y-intercept of a rational function as y
IntroAn ExampleAnother ExampleThe Case with the HolePurplemath What is a rational function? A rational function is an equation of the form y = (a rational expression). A rational expression is a polynomial fraction. Because a rational expression contains a polynomial in its denominator, you ...
The ring has a constant cross section and is mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the slab. The general integral of the equilibrium equations for the slab is given. The authors discuss the rational reinforcing of a hole by starting from the conditions to be met by the ...
