Focus F: Analysis of Rational Functions

Example 1:
  • Factor the rational function first before determining any asymptotes or points of discontinuity.

    .
  • Note there are no common factors to cancel.
  • The zero of the denominator is 4. Thus x = 4 is a vertical asymptote.
  • There are no points of discontinuity
