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.
