Unit 2: Rational Functions Lesson 1: Reciprocal of a Linear Function What is a Rational Function? Any function of the form: Where f(x) and g(x) are polynomial functions Because the denominator can never be zero, rational functions have properties that polynomial functions do not What is the Reciprocal of a Linear Function? We are going to start by looking at the simplest rational functions: This is the general form for the reciprocal of a linear function Reciprocal means you put “one over” or, more simply, you “flip it” Example 1 (a) Use your TI-83 or the program “Graph” to grap
