Remainder Theorem If   p(x) / (x – a)  =  q(x)  with remainder  r(x), then  p(x)  =  (x – a) q(x)  +  r(x) Example: (x^3 – 7x – 6) / (x – 4)   =   x2 + 4x + 9   with remainder 30, So…  x3 – 7x – 6  =   (x – 4) (x2 + 4x + 9)  +  30. When is the remainder theorem a useful tool?

Rational Zero Theorem (p/q) Determine all possible rational zeroes for the following polynomial function

Strategies for visualizing rational graphs Input / Output Table Transformations of the parent function (1/x) Holes and Asymptotes Y intercept and X intercept(s)

Horizontal and vertical asymptote rules If n < m , then the x axis is the horizontal asymptote If n= m , then the line y = a/b is the horizontal asymptote If n > m , then there is no horizontal, it is instead a slant or oblique if n is greater than m by one degree then the quotient of the function is the slant asymptotes

Determine any holes or asymptotes Why are some excluded values holes and others vertical asymptotes?
