Document Summary
What is a rational function? called a rational function. If a function can be written as the ratio of polynomial function , where the polynomial is not the zero polynomial (i. e. is not allowed), then defined by is. F is not a rational function because the numerator is not a polynomial. Polynomial numbers have whole number exponents for each variable. G is not a rational function because the denominator is not a polynomial function. H is not a rational function because its numerator contains a radical function.
and 
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.
