Rational functions are expressions formed by the ratio of two polynomials, typically represented as ( f(x) = \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} ), where ( P(x) ) and ( Q(x) ) are polynomials. Key characteristics include their domain, which excludes values that make the denominator ( Q(x) ) equal to zero, leading to vertical asymptotes. Additionally, they may have horizontal or oblique asymptotes depending on the degrees of the numerator and denominator. Rational functions can also exhibit behavior such as holes in the graph, which occur when a common factor in the numerator and denominator is canceled.
