Q

how do you factor a perfect cube

A

in the first (), take the cubed root of both variables in the equation
in the second (), first, put in whatever you need to get the leading coefficient, then put in the opposite of the product of the first (), then whatever you need to get the constant

Q

how do you find the vertical asymptote

A

whatever makes the denominator 0
roots of denominator
x=
be sure to factor function first as asymptotes might cancel

23
Q

how do you find the horizontal asymptote if numerator’s degree is < denominator’s degree

A

y=0

it is the x-axis

24
how do you find HA if the numerator's degree=denominator's degree
y=ratio of leading coefficients | f(x)=2x-5/4-x HA:y=-2
25
how do you find the HA if you numerator's degree > denominator's degree by 1? by 2?
by 1: y=quotient slant asymptote | by 2: y=quotient parabolic asymptote
26
how do you find x intercepts and y intercepts of a rational function
x: roots of numerator (set=0) make sure to factor first in case things cancel y: plug 0 in for x NOTE- be sure to write as ordered pairs, (0,0) is not a y or x intercept
27
what is intermediate form? is it the same as undefined
0/0, no
28
slant asymptotes and parabolic asymptotes all begin with
y= so do HA VA begins with x=
29

vertical asymptote
31
when f(x)--->b as x--->+/- infinity, y=b is a ______ ______ of the graph of f
horizontal asymptote
32
for the rational function f(x)=N(x)/D(x), if the degree of N(x) is exactly one more than the degree of D(x), then the graph of f has a ______ (or oblique) ________
slant asymptote
33
do you put brackets around solutions that make the bottom 0
no
34
when you divide by a - in an inequality, ____ the sign
flip
35

critical/key, test intervals
44
the key numbers of a rational expression are its ______ and its ___ ____
zeros, undefined values
45
the formula that relates cost, revenue, and profit is ______
profit=revenue-cost
46
how can you tell if an equation has 4 test regions
find solutions and make sure there are 3 roots
47
Can you cross through a HA? VA? SA?
Yes no yes
48
