    1) The document provides examples and exercises for finding the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, and zeros of rational functions. 2) It gives the definitions of x-intercepts as the x-value where the function is equal to 0, and y-intercepts as the f(x) value when x is equal to 0. 3) The procedure shown is to set the numerator equal to 0 to find the x-intercepts/zeros, and to substitute 0 for x to find the y-intercepts.

    Math
    SOLUTION:

    a. Substitute zero to the variable x.

    b. Simplify.

    Thus, the y-intercept is 2.

    EXAMPLE 2
    GENERALIZATIONS
    Find the x-intercept/s or zero/s of .
    An intercept of a rational function is a point where the graph of the
    rational function intersects the x- or y-axis.
    SOLUTION:
    x-intercept
    –the value of x which make the function equal to zero a. Equate the numerator to zero.
    – also referred to as the zeroes of the function b. Solve for the value of x.
    y-intercept
    – the value of the function f(x) when x is equal to zero

    Thus, the x-intercepts of f(x) as well as the zeros are 3 and 2.


    .
    Note: Not all rational functions have both an x or y intercept. If you
    cannot find a real solution, then it does not have that intercept.

    EXERCISE 1

    Directions. Find the x-intercept/s or zero/s of the following. Show your


    process on your answer sheet.

    1. 3. 5.

    Rational functions have properties which include the following: 2. 4.


     To find the x-intercept or zero of the function, find the values of x
    where the numerator will be zero. Finding the y-intercept/s of Rational Functions
     To find the y-intercept, evaluate the function at x=0. EXAMPLE 1

    Finding the x-intercept/s or Zero/s of Rational Functions Find the y-intercept of .

    EXAMPLE 1 SOLUTION:

    Find the x-intercept or zero/s of . a. Substitute zero to the variable x.

    SOLUTION:

    a. Equate the numerator to zero. b. Simplify.


    b. Solve for the value of x.
    Thus, the y-intercept
    Thus, the x-intercept of f(x) as well as the zero of the function is 4. is –1.
