Define a rational function.

Back

A rational function is a function that can be expressed as the quotient of two polynomials.

Front

Back

The degree is 3.

Front

What are the possible zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

The possible zeros are the values of x that make the function equal to zero.

Front

Explain the concept of end behavior in functions.

Back

End behavior describes how the values of a function behave as x approaches positive or negative infinity.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in a polynomial function?

Back

The leading coefficient determines the direction of the graph as x approaches infinity.

Front

How do you find the zeros of a polynomial function?

Back

Set the function equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

What is the difference between a polynomial and a rational function?

Back

A polynomial is a sum of terms with non-negative integer exponents, while a rational function is a ratio of two polynomials.
