Questions
- For each rational function \(f\), use the asymptotic behavior and its behavior near its zeros and poles to sketch \(f.\)
- \(f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x^2+x}\)
- \(f(x)=\frac{(x+4)(x-5)^3(x-9)^2}{5x^2(x^2-1)(x+5)^2}\)
- \(f(x)=\frac{5x+4}{x^2+6}\)
- \(f(x)=\frac{x^4+1}{x+1}\)
- For each polynomial \(f\), solve each inequality separately: \(f(x)\geq 0\), \(f(x)>0\), \(f(x)<0\) and \(f(x)\leq 0\).
- \(f(x)=2(x+3)^2(x+2)^3(x-5)^3(x-6)^8\)
