! You should know that if is a polynomial of degree then has at least one zero in the complexnumber system. (Fundamental Theorem of Algebra)

! You should know that if is a complex zero of a polynomial with real coefficients, then isalso a complex zero of

! You should know the difference between a factor that is irreducible over the rationals such as anda factor that is irreducible over the reals such as x2 " 9".!

Section 2.6 Rational Functions and Asymptotes

! You should know the following basic facts about rational functions.

(a) A function of the form where are polynomials, is calleda rational function.

(b) The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers except those which make thedenominator zero.

(c) If is in reduced form, and is a value such that then the line is avertical asymptote of the graph of

(d) The line is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of if or

(e) Let where have no common

factors.

1. If then the -axis is a horizontal asymptote.

2. If then is a horizontal asymptote.

3. If then there are no horizontal asymptotes.n > m,
