Solve each inequality using a graphing utility. $$\frac{x-4}{x-1} \leq 0$$
Use transformations of \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\) or \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}\) to graph each rational function. $$h(x)=\frac{1}{(x-3)^{2}}+1$$
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. The inequality \(\frac{x-2}{x+3}<2\) can be solved by multiplying both sides by \((x+3)^{2}, x \neq-3,\) resulting in the equivalent inequality \((x-2)(x+3)<2(x+3)^{2}\).
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 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 \(g.\) $$g(x)=\frac{2 x-9}{x-4}$$
