Plot a rational function with a zero at x=1.
If is a rational function with a zero at , what can you conclude?
The converse, however, is not true. That is, if is a rational function with , it is not necessarily the case that has a zero at . Plot an example of such a rational function below.
Plot a rational function below such that , and 's only zero occurs at .
Correctly complete the claim below
is a zero of the rational function if and only if:
