NO LINKS OR ANSWERING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. THIS NOT A TEST OR AN ASSESSMENT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE MATH QUESTIONS FOR AN ASSIGNMENT!!! Chapter 10 part 1 1. What is an extraneous solution and what type of functions might they occur in?

2. Given a vertical asymptote and horizontal asymptote, how would you begin to find an expression for a rational function?

1.

An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation as it was excluded from the domain of the original equation.

It emerges from the process of solving the problem as a equation.

2.I begin like:

The vertical asymptotes will occur at those values of x for which the denominator is equal to zero:

for example:

x² − 4=0

x²= 4

doing square root on both side

x = ±2

Thus, the graph will have vertical asymptotes at x = 2 and x = −2.

To find the horizontal asymptote, the degree of the numerator is one and the degree of the denominator is two.
