Use transformations of \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\) or \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}\) to graph each rational function. $$g(x)=\frac{1}{x-1}$$
Write the equation of a rational function \(f(x)=\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}\) having the indicated properties, in which the degrees of p and q are as small as possible. More than one correct function may be possible. Graph your function using a graphing utility to verify that it has the required properties. \(f\) has a vertical asymptote given by \(x=3,\) a horizontal asymptote \(y=0, y\) -intercept at \(-1,\) and no \(x\) -intercept.
Use a graphing utility to graph $$f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-4 x+3}{x-2} \text { and } g(x)=\frac{x^{2}-5 x+6}{x-2}$$ What differences do you observe between the graph of \(f\) and the graph of \(g\) ? How do you account for these differences?
What is a polynomial inequality?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The graph of a rational function can have three vertical asymptotes.
