Section 4.1: Rational Functions Problems 1-14 First look at Figure 4.1, and then draw the requested graph as a dilation, compression, reflection, or translation. See Example 3. Problems 15-24 Simplify the given equation by noting the deleted points. Graph the simplified curve (line) using open circles to denote those deleted points. See Example 1. Problems 25-32 See Table 4.2 and Example 5. There may also be deleted points, as illustrated in Example 1. Problems 33-42 Begin with synthetic division to simplify each expression. Note deleted points. See Example 4. Also, see Examples 2 and 3. Problems 43-44 See Example 5. Problems 45-48 See Example 6. Problems 49-54 See Examples 4 and 5. Problems 55-56 See Example 6. Problems 57-58 Graph the given function in Quadrant I and find the slope, m, and then find m for the minimum value of the function. Problems 59-60 See Example 7.
