Use long division to rewrite the equation for \(g\) in the form $$\text {quotient }+\frac{\text {remainder}}{\text {divisor}}$$ Then use this form of the function's equation and transformations of \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\) to graph \(g.\) $$g(x)=\frac{3 x-7}{x-2}$$
The rational function $$f(x)=\frac{27,725(x-14)}{x^{2}+9}-5 x$$ models the number of arrests, \(f(x),\) per 100,000 drivers, for driving under the influence of alcohol, as a function of a driver's age, \(x\). a. Graph the function in a [0,70,5] by [0,400,20] viewing rectangle. b. Describe the trend shown by the graph. c. Use the \([\mathrm{ZOOM}]\) and \([\mathrm{TRACE}]\) features or the maximum function feature of your graphing utility to find the age that corresponds to the greatest number of arrests. How many arrests, per 100,000 drivers, are there for this age group?
If you are given the equation of a rational function, how can you tell if the graph has a slant asymptote? If it does, how do you find its equation?
The perimeter of a rectangle is 180 feet. Describe the possible lengths of a side if the area of the rectangle is not to exceed 800 square feet.
a. Find the slant asymptote of the graph of each rational function and \(\mathbf{b} .\) Follow the seven-step strategy and use the slant asymptote to graph each rational function. $$f(x)=\frac{x^{3}-1}{x^{2}-9}$$
