What is the x - intercept?
f(x)=(x^2-9x-36)/(x^4-5x^2+2x
x = 12, and x = -3

In general, explain the differences in simplifying the following expressions..
(x+1)/x-x/(x+1) and (x+1)/x*x/(x+1)
For addition and subtraction, you must find the common denominator and add the numerators. For multiplication, you simply multiply across and simplify

What are the vertical asymptotes to the following rational function?
(3x^2+4x-8)/(x^2-225)
x = 15 and x = -15

Do the following problems have the same vertical asymptotes? Explain if False
True or False
((5+x)(x))/(x^2-36) and ((6+x)(x))/(x^2-36)
There is not a vertical asymptote at x=-6 but a hole for the second expression.

A student came to the following conclusion. Where was the error?
(x+1)/(2x)=1/2
Cancelling can be done only in situation of multiplication and division. Because x is being added to 1 in the numerator, it can't be divided and "cancelled".

Johnny is graphing a rational equation. Miranda notices that there is an asymptote at y = 0, x = -2, and x = 2. But, Johnny has the graph going through the point (0,0) in what looks like a cubic function in between the two vertical asymptotes. If there is an asymptote at y = 0, how can it be that there is a y intercept at y = 0?
Asymptotes are defined at the extreme ends of the graph (+ infinity and - infinity).
