Now that we have analyzed the equations for rational functions and how they relate to a graph of the function, we can use information given by a graph to write the function. A rational function written in factored form will have an
x -intercept where each factor of the numerator is equal to zero. (An exception occurs in the case of a removable discontinuity.) As a result, we can form a numerator of a function whose graph will pass through a set of
x -intercepts by introducing a corresponding set of factors. Likewise, because the function will have a vertical asymptote where each factor of the denominator is equal to zero, we can form a denominator that will produce the vertical asymptotes by introducing a corresponding set of factors.
Writing rational functions from intercepts and asymptotes
If a
rational function has
x -intercepts at
vertical asymptotes at
and no
then the function can be written in the form:
where the powers
or
on each factor can be determined by the behavior of the graph at the corresponding intercept or asymptote, and the stretch factor
can be determined given a value of the function other than the
x -intercept or by the horizontal asymptote if it is nonzero.
Given a graph of a rational function, write the function.
Determine the factors of the numerator. Examine the behavior of the graph at the
x -intercepts to determine the zeroes and their multiplicities. (This is easy to do when finding the “simplest” function with small multiplicities—such as 1 or 3—but may be difficult for larger multiplicities—such as 5 or 7, for example.)
Determine the factors of the denominator. Examine the behavior on both sides of each vertical asymptote to determine the factors and their powers.
Use any clear point on the graph to find the stretch factor.

Write an equation for the rational function shown in

The graph appears to have
x -intercepts at
and
At both, the graph passes through the intercept, suggesting linear factors. The graph has two vertical asymptotes. The one at
seems to exhibit the basic behavior similar to
with the graph heading toward positive infinity on one side and heading toward negative infinity on the other. The asymptote at
is exhibiting a behavior similar to
with the graph heading toward negative infinity on both sides of the asymptote. See
[link] .
We can use this information to write a function of the form
To find the stretch factor, we can use another clear point on the graph, such as the
y -intercept
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

how do you save a country economic situation when it's falling apart
Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
