Page 2: Understanding Horizontal Asymptotes

This page details the process of finding horizontal asymptotes through degree comparison between numerator and denominator polynomials.

Definition: Horizontal asymptotes are determined by comparing the degrees of numerator nn and denominator dd polynomials.

Highlight: There can only be one horizontal asymptote maximum for any rational function.

Example: For fxx = x−2x-2x−1x-1/x−2x-2x−4x-4, after cancellation, the horizontal asymptote is y = 1.

Quote: "If you big on top, just stop!" - referring to when the numerator degree exceeds the denominator degree.

Page 3: Systematic Approach to Graphing Rational Functions

This page outlines a comprehensive seven-step process for graphing rational functions effectively.

Highlight: The systematic approach includes factoring, finding holes, intercepts, asymptotes, and sketching branches.

Example: For fxx = x²+3x+2/x²+x-2, the process reveals a hole at 2,32,3, x-intercept at −1,0-1,0, and vertical asymptote at x = 1.

Definition: A hole occurs in a rational function when the same factor cancels in both numerator and denominator.

Page 4: Advanced Examples and Applications

This page provides multiple complex examples demonstrating the complete process of analyzing and graphing rational functions.

Example: The function fxx = 5x−105x-10/x2+x−6x²+x-6 is analyzed showing a hole at 2,12,1, vertical asymptote at x = -3, and horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

Highlight: Each example demonstrates different combinations of features including holes, asymptotes, and intercepts.

Vocabulary: DNE DoesNotExistDoes Not Exist is used to indicate when certain features are not present in a rational function.

I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D

Stefan S, iOS User

The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D

SuSSan, iOS User

Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying

Page 1: Introduction to Rational Functions and Asymptotes

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of rational functions and their key components. A rational function is explained as a ratio of two polynomials, with emphasis on branches and asymptotes.

Definition: A rational function is expressed as fxx/gxx where fxx and gxx are polynomials.

Highlight: A rational function has one more branch than the number of vertical asymptotes.

Example: The function y = x−3x-3/x2−9x²-9 demonstrates vertical asymptotes at x = -3 and x = 3.

Vocabulary: Branches refer to the continuous portions of a rational function graph separated by vertical asymptotes.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

iOS user

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
