Find x and y intercepts of a rational function

The video tutorial explains how to work with rational expressions by setting equations to zero. It covers finding X intercepts by setting the numerator to zero and solving for X, and finding Y intercepts by setting X to zero. The tutorial emphasizes writing solutions as coordinate points.

What is the purpose of multiplying both sides of an equation by the same term when dealing with a rational expression?

• To factor the expression

• To find the y-intercept

• To eliminate the denominator

• To simplify the numerator

When finding the x-intercepts of a rational expression, what should you set equal to zero?

• The constant term

• The numerator

• The entire expression

• The denominator

How should the solutions for x-intercepts be expressed?

• As decimals

• As inequalities

• As coordinate points

• As fractions

What value should x be set to when finding the y-intercept of a rational expression?

• 2

• -1

• 1

• 0

How is the y-intercept expressed once it is calculated?

• As an equation

• As a decimal

• As a fraction

• As a coordinate point
