Write the indicated expression as a ratio of polynomials, assuming that $$ r(x)=\frac{3 x+4}{x^{2}+1}, \quad s(x)=\frac{x^{2}+2}{2 x-1}, \quad t(x)=\frac{5}{4 x^{3}+3} $$. $$ (r(x))^{2} $$
Find the asymptotes of the graph of the given function \(\mathrm{r}\). $$ r(x)=\frac{6 x^{4}+4 x^{3}-7}{2 x^{4}+3 x^{2}+5} $$
Suppose \(p(x)=a_{0}+a_{1} x+\cdots+a_{n} x^{n},\) where \(a_{0}, a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n}\) are integers. Suppose \(M\) and \(N\) are nonzero integers with no common factors and \(\frac{M}{N}\) is a zero of \(p\). Show that \(a_{0} / M\) and \(a_{n} / N\) are integers. [Thus to find rational zeros of a polynomial with integer coefficients, we need only look at fractions whose numerator is a divisor of the constant term and whose denominator is a divisor of the coefficient of highest degree. This result is called the Rational Zeros Theorem or the Rational Roots Theorem.]
Find the asymptotes of the graph of the given function \(\mathrm{r}\). $$ r(x)=\frac{6 x^{6}-7 x^{3}+3}{3 x^{6}+5 x^{4}+x^{2}+1} $$
Suppose \(p\) and \(q\) are polynomials and the horizonal axis is an asymptote of the graph of \(\frac{p}{q}\). Explain why $$ \operatorname{deg} p<\operatorname{deg} q $$
