A"Develop!Understanding+Task!!
We!have!studied!several!families!of!functions!over!the!past!few!years!including!linear,!exponential,!quadratic,!logarithmic,!square!root,!and!polynomials!in!general.!In!this!task,!we!will!examine!features!of!families!of!functions!from!our!previous!work!and!also!look!at!the!features!of!the!functions!we!call!rational!functions.!
Part!I:!Finding!features.!Use!the!table!to!describe!the!process!you!would!use!to!find!a!given!feature!based!on!the!function!and!then!write!how!this!feature!can!be!found!for!any!function.!
1.! The!process!I!use!to!f ind!roots!for!the!following!functions:!Linear! Logarithmic! Polynomial!(in!factored!form)!!!!!!

2.! The!process!I!use!to!determine!end!behavior!for!the!following!functions:!Quadratic! Exponential! Polynomial!!!!!!

Part!II:!Characteristics!of!Rational!Functions!
In!Birthday!Gift!we!saw!a!rational!function!used!to!model!the!situation!with!Chile.!Rational!
Functions!are!any!function!!(!)!such!that!! ! = !(!)!(!)!where!P!and!Q!are!polynomials!in!x!and!Q!is!
not!the!zero!polynomial.!In!other!words!a!rational!function!is!a!ratio!between!two!polynomials.!
Below!are!examples!of!rational!functions.!Like!other!functions!we!have!studied,!rational!functions!come!in!different!forms,!with!each!form!highlighting!different!aspects!of!the!function.!!

Based!on!other!functions!we!have!studied,!make!a!conjecture!as!to!how!you!would!find!the!following!features!of!a!rational!function.!
