Rational Function: 2nd Degree / 1st Degree


Here's a graphing program that shows the behavior of a rational function made up of a second degree polynomial divided by a first degree polynomial. These polynomials are presented in factored form in the following function definition:

 

rational function

 

Below is a program that graphs the above function. A link to instructions is follows the program.

 

f(x) = m(x - a)(x - b) / n(x - d)
f(x) = m(x - a)(x - b) / n(x - d)
f(x) = c2nx2 + c1nx + c0n / c1dx + c0d





    x:     y:

 

The rational function graphing programs in this section all work about the same. Click here for an explanation.
