6. Continuation of Chapter 5

   • Rational Functions
     • A rational function is the quotient of two polynomials
       • R(x) = p(x) / q(x)
         • The domain of a rational function includes all real numbers except those that make the denominator equal to 0.
       • ex:
         • f(x)= x/x-1
           • x-1 ≠ 0
             • add 1 to both sides
               • x ≠ 1
                 • Domain: ℝ ≠ 1
     • The line:
       • x=a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f(x) if f(x)= ∞ OR f(x)= -∞ as 'x' approaches 'a' from left or right
       • y=b is a horizontal asymptote of the function y=f(x) if the output approaches 'b' as 'x' approaches ∞ or -∞
     • A graph cannot cross a vertical asymptote, but it CAN cross a horizontal asymptote
   • Simplifying Rational Functions
     • A rational expression
       • a fractional expression in which the numerator and denominator
         • To simplify is a rational expression, factor the numerator and the denominator completely and divide out any common factors using the following property of fractions
           • AC/BC= A/B
     • ex:
       • 5x/10
         • 5/10 = 2
           • =x/2
   • Adding/Subtracting Rational Functions
     • To ADD or SUBTRACT rational expressions:
       • First, find a common denominator and then use these properties
         • A/C + B/C = A+B/C
         • A/C - B/C = A-B/C
         • Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions
           • 1.) Factor the denominators and find the LCD (if necessary)
             • 2.) Rewrite each rational expression with the common denominator
               • 3.) Add or subtract, and then simplify
                 • ex:
                   • 5x/x+3 + 15/x+3
                     • Common denominators
                     • 5x+15/x+3
                       • check to see if anything simplifies
                         • 5(x+3)/x+3
                           • x+3's cancel out
                             • =5
   • Multiplying/Dividing Rational Expressions
     • To multiply rational expressions,
       • 1.) Factor the numerators and denominators completely
         • 2.) Simplify by dividing out common factors in the numerator and the denominator
           • 3.) Add or subtract, and then simplify
     • ex: (multiplying)
       • a+3/a+7 * a+7/a-5
         • a+7's cancel out
           • = a+3/a-5
     • ex: (dividing)
       • t^2v/w^3 / t/w
         • tv/w^2
   • Direct and Inverse Variation
     • Direct Variation:
       • Y varies directly with x
         • (y is directly proportional to x)
           • if y=kx for some real number k ≠ 0
             • k is called the variation constant or constant of proportionality
       • In Direct Variation, both variables either increase together or decrease together
     • Inverse Variation:
       • The variable y varies inversely with x if y= k/x
         • OR
           • y varies indirectly with x or y is inversely proportional to x if y= k/x
             • k is called the variation constant or constant of proportionality
               • Two quantities vary inversely if when one gets larger, the other one gets smaller
