What you should get out of lesson. . . Given a rational function, you should be able to determine its Domain. Zeros End behavior.
Note All power functions with natural number exponents are polynomials. All polynomials are rational functions. Do NOT confuse power functionsxkwith exponential functionsax. They have very different properties.
