Representations of Rational Functions

Rational functions are functions of the form f(x) = p(x)/q(x), where p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions and q(x) is not equal to 0. The domain of a rational function is all values of x where the denominator q(x) does not equal 0. An example rational function is represented using a table of values from -10 to 10 for x, and by plotting and connecting the corresponding points on a graph.

REPRESENTATIONS OF RATIONAL

FUNCTIONS
Definition:
A rational function is a function of the form f(x) = p(x)
q(x)
where p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions, and q(x) is not the
zero function, i.e, q(x) ≠ 0. The domain of f(x) is all values of x
where q(x) ≠ 0
Example. Represent the rational function given by using a table of values and plot a graph
of the function by connecting points.
Solution. Since we are now considering functions in general, we can find function values across
more values of x. Let us construct a table of values for some x-values from -10 to 10:
