1.6 common functions and their graphs
(2) Rational functions
We call the functions like (p and q here are polynomials) rational functions. The graphs of these functions are changeable. They depend on what polynomials p and q are. The easiest rational functions are actually, polynomials (here ). Other easy examples are functions like: , . The graphs of these functions are the pictures below:
