Would f(x) = (x^2+2x+3)/3 be considered a rational function? I'm not quite sure what the guidelines are with classifying the various types of functions.
No....a rational function is one that has a polynomial in the numerator and the denominator....note that
(x + 3) / (x^2 - 2) would be an example....but...
(x^2+2x+3)/3 is actually just
(1/3)x^2 + (2/3)x + 1 and this is just a quadratic function.....
Right, of course. Thanks man!
OK...no prob....!!!
