What type of function is represented by the following graph?
Do you have answer choices?
quadratic,cubic,linear,rational
Looks like a rational one to be because it's obeying asymptotes.
It's not linear because its not a line. Its not quadratic or cubic because it doesnt have humps.
it is rational with asymptote at some value of x= 3 (isn't it?) so may be, the denominator has (x-3) and since the horizontal asymptote is y=0 (x-axis) we can say that, the degree of numerator is less than the degree of the denominator already...
A cubit function will have 3 humps like this |dw:1373222515243:dw|
the question is multiple choice and those are the only choices that i gave you
A linear function is just a line. |dw:1373222547851:dw|
Quadratic Function is a parabola |dw:1373222579879:dw|
@jasonfichter pls post the choices..
And a rational function will be obeying asymptotes and will look like this |dw:1373222613176:dw|
