Module 7: Rational Functions and Function Operations

 

In Try This 2 you may have found that multiplying and dividing functions using their graphs follows a process similar to that of adding and subtracting functions using their graphs. Again, you can pick a point on each function with the same x-value and multiply or divide the y-values. Dividing Functions shows how to determine the graph of  from Try This 2.

 

This is a play button that opens Dividing Functions.

 

In Try This 2 you also saw that it is possible to predict the type of function produced by a multiplication or division of functions:
