Lesson
Intercepts, Zeroes and Asymptotes of Rational Functions
3.1

The intercepts of the graph of a rational function are the points of intersection
of its graph and an axis.
The y-intercept of the graph of a rational function r(x) if it exists, occurs at r(0),
provided that r(x) is defined at x = 0. To find y-intercept simply evaluate the
function at x = 0.
The x-intercept of the graph of a rational function r(x), if it exists, occurs at the
zeros of the numerator that are not zeros of the denominators. To find x –
intercept equate the function to 0.
The zeroes of a function are the values of x which make the function zero. The
numbered zeroes are also x-intercepts of the graph of the function.

Example: Find the x and y-intercepts of ( ) .


1. To find x-intercept, equate the function to zero;

a. Equate the function to 0.

b. By Symmetric Property of Equality.

c. Multiply both sides by (x+1).

d. By Addition Property of Equality (APE).


e. Simplify.

f. By Multiplication Property of Equality (MPE)

So, the x-intercept is (3,0)

2. To find the y-intercept, change the x values of the function to 0.

a. Substitute 0 to x values of the function

b. Simplifying the fraction.

c. Value of f(x) or y.

So, the y-intercept is 3 or (0,3)

An asymptote is an imaginary line to which a graph gets closer and closer as the x or y increases or decreases its value
without limit.
Kinds of Asymptote: 1) Vertical Asymptote 2) Horizontal Asymptote 3)Oblique / Slant Asymptote

VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE
The vertical line 𝑥 = 𝑎 is a vertical asymptote of a function f if the
graph increases or decreases without bound as the x values approach 𝒂
from the right or left.
To determine the vertical asymptote of a rational function, first reduce
the given function to simplest form then find the zeroes of the
denominator that are not zeros of the numerator
HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTE
The horizontal line is a horizontal asymptote of the function f if
(𝑥) gets closer to b as x increases or decreases without bound.

Finding the horizontal asymptote of a rational function.


To determine the horizontal asymptote of a rational function, compare
the degree of the numerator n and the degree of the denominator d.
• If n < d, the horizontal asymptote is y= 0
• If n = d, the horizontal asymptote y is the ratio of the leading
coefficient of the numerator a, to the leading coefficient of the
denominator b. That is = .
• If n > d, there is no horizontal asymptote.
Note: A rational function may or may not cross its horizontal
asymptote. If the function does not cross the horizontal asymptote y=b,
then b is not part of the range of the rational function.
SLANT / OBLIQUE ASYMPTOTE

An oblique asymptote is a line that is neither vertical nor horizontal. It


occurs when the numerator of (𝑥) has a degree that is one higher than
the degree of the denominator.

Finding Oblique or Slant Asymptote


To find slant asymptote simply divide the numerator by the
denominator by either using long division or synthetic division. The
oblique asymptote is the quotient with the remainder ignored and set
equal to y.

Lesson
Problems Involving RationalFunctions, Equations, and Inequalities
3.2

To be able to solve problems involving rational


functions, equations, and inequalities, it is
necessary to know the basics of algebra.

Solving rational equations and inequalities is very


essential in solving word problems. Real-life
problems like mixture, work, distance, number,
and other related problems might interest you.

If you are fond of observing your speed while


driving, estimating your time while walking,
analyzing your income while selling, determining
price increases and decreases, identifying rational
relationships and solving real-life problems, then,
this module is definitely for you to enjoy!

Problems Involving RationalFunctions, Equations, and Inequalities
3.3

Example 1: The relation pairing an SSS member to his or her SSS number.
Solution: Each SSS member is assigned a unique SSS number. Thus, this relation is a function. Further, two
members cannot be assigned the same SSS number, therefore, the function is one-to-one.

Example 2: The relation pairing a citizenship to a person.


Solution: The relation is a function because each person has a citizenship. However, a person can have two
citizenship, (dual citizen) therefore, it is not one-to-one function.

Lesson
The Inverse of One-to-one Functions
3.4

The inverse of a function is a function with domain B and range A given that the original function has domain A and
range B. This inverse function of function f is denoted by f-1. It is defined by the equation ( ) 𝑥 if and only if
(𝑥) for any y in range B. Since both are functions, then a function has to be one-to-one for its inverse to be a
function at the same time. If it is a many-to-one function, its inverse is one-to-many which is not a function.
How to Find the Inverse of One-to-one Function
Intuitively, the inverse of a function may be known by the principle of “undo”. That is, by considering the inverse of
operations performed, the inverse of a function may be computed easily.
