End Behavior Graph the rational function, and find all vertical asymptotes, x- and y-intercepts, and local extrema, correct to the nearest tenth. Then use long division to find a polynomial that has the same end behavior as the rational function, and graph both functions in a sufficiently large viewing rectangle to verify that the end behaviors of the polynomial and the rational function are the same.

- DISCUSS: A Rational Function with No Asymptote Explain how you can tell without graphing it that the function r(x)=x6+10x4+8x2+15 has no x-intercept and no horizontal, vertical, or slant asymptote. What is its end behavior?arrow_forwardThe graph of a rational function f(x)=N(x)D(x)is shown below. Determine which of the statements about the function is false. Justify your answer. (a) When x=1, D(x)=0. (b) The degree of N(x)is equal to the degree of D(x). (c) The ratio of the leading coefficients of N(x)and D(x)is 1.arrow_forwardGraphing Rational Functions Find the intercepts and asymptotes, and then sketch a graph of the rational function and state the domain and range. Use a graphing device to conform your answer. s(x)=x2+8x18x28x+16arrow_forward
