Given a rational functions that consists of a ratio of rational functions, setting the top expression (the numerator) equal to zero and then solving for x allows you to find values of x that cause the value of the function (y-value) to equal zero. When graphing, this is where the graph you are drawing will cross the x-axis.
  • What are the zeroes of a rational function?
  • How do you find the zeroes of a rational function?
  • What are the zeroes of f(x) = (3x^2 - 27)/(x^2 - 36)?
This lesson explains what zeroes of a function are and how to find them for a rational function. All concept and steps are explained very well in this lesson.
