For example, if you know that the quadratic parent function \(y={{x}^{2}}\) is being transformed 2 units to the right, and 1 unit down, we can create the original t-chart, following by the transformation points on the outside of the original points.
A rational function is basically a division of two polynomial functions. That is, it is a polynomial divided by another polynomial. In formal notation, a rational function would be symbolized like this: Where s(x) and t(x) are polynomial functions, and t(x) can not equal zero.
Polynomial functions with integer coefficients may have rational roots. The Rational Root Theorem lets you determine the possible candidates quickly and easily! Watch the video to learn more.
