LINEAR FUNCTION
For linear, It is a usual case where
y = mx + c
Where y = value at y coordinate
x = value at x coordinate
m = slope of a line
y2 − y1
m=
x2 − x1
c = y intercept (the place where the
graph crosses the y-axis)
LINEAR FUNCTION
Example :
Sketch the graph y = x + 2
− b b 2 − 4ac
x=
2a
FACTORIZATION
Example :
Find the zeros of f(x) = x2 – 5x -12
RATIONAL FUNCTION
Any function that can be written in the form
p( x)
f ( x) =
q( x)
Where p(x) & q(x) are polynomials, with q(x) ≠0
A rational function is known as a PROPER function
fraction if the degree of P(x) is less than the
degree of Q(x).

RATIONAL FUNCTION
Division of polynomials
Carrying out the division of polynomials is no
different, in principle, to numerical division.
Examine the steps taken in the following example
3 x 3 + 10 x 2 + x − 14
x+2
RATIONAL FUNCTION
Improper fractions can be expressed as the sum of
a polynomial plus a proper function.
