6.1: Introduction to Rational Functions and Vertical Asymptotes: What is a Rational Function? (Homework)

Question

when x=11.7, x+4 is how many times as large as x2−3?

Answer 1

when x = 11.7, x + 4 = 15.7

when x = 11.7, x² - 3 = 133.89

when x = 11.7, (x + 4)/(x² - 3) = 15.7/133.89 = 0.11726

So when x = 11.7, x + 4 is 0.11726 times as large as x² - 3
