Hi all! Is (sqr(x^3 -1))/(1+ x^(1/3)) a rational function? If not, what kind of function is it? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt{x ^{3}-1})\div(1+\sqrt[3]{x})\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

top and bottom are not polynomials so its definitely not a rational function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What might it be then? a root function?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

never heard such a name... :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I have this list...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

power function, root function, polynomial, algebraic function, trig function, exponential function, log function

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we can strike off : log/exponential/trig/polynomial

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

must be one of power/root/algebraic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so power function is like x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

root is like sqr(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

algebraic begins with a polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.. root I guess?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets go wid root maybe ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes... i thikn d same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD thanks!
