Writing the equation of a rational function given its graph


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 361 People


Task 3—Graphing Rational Functions Create a rational function with a linear binomial in both the numerator and denominator.

-Part 1. Graph your function using technology. Include the horizontal and vertical asymptotes and the x- and y-intercepts on your graph. Label the asymptotes and intercepts.
-Part 2. Show all work to identify the vertical asymptote, the x-intercepts, and the y-intercept.
THANKS!

The intercepts of a graph are the point where the graph crosses the x and y axes.

  • The vertical asymptote is x = -1
  • The x and y intercepts are x = 1 and y = -1, respectively.

The function is given as:

\mathbf{f(x) =\frac{x -1}{x +1}}

(a) The vertical asymptote

Set the numerator to 0.

\mathbf{x +1 = 0}

Solve for x

\mathbf{x  = -1}

Hence, the vertical asymptote is \mathbf{x  = -1}

(b) The x-intercept

Set f(x) to 0

\mathbf{\frac{x -1}{x +1} = 0}

Multiply both sides by x = 1

\mathbf{x -1= 0}

Solve for x

\mathbf{x =1}

Hence, the x-intercept is \mathbf{x =1}

(c) The y-intercept

Set x to 0

\mathbf{f(x) =\frac{0 -1}{0 +1}}

\mathbf{f(x) =\frac{-1}{1}}

Solve for x

\mathbf{f(x) =-1}

Hence, the y-intercept is \mathbf{f(x) =-1}

See attachment for the graph of f(x)
