Rational Function Root Finder

Discover the roots of rational functions with ease. Enter your function in p(x)/q(x) form and visualize the results.

Enter Rational Function (e.g., (x^2 - 4)/(x - 2)):

Please input your rational function in the format p(x)/q(x). Variables should be 'x'.

Understanding Rational Functions and Roots

A rational function is a function that can be defined as a fraction where both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The roots of a rational function, also known as x-intercepts, are the values of x for which the function equals zero. These roots are found where the numerator of the function is zero, and the denominator is not zero at the same point.

To use this tool, simply enter your rational function in the format p(x)/q(x), where p(x) is the numerator polynomial and q(x) is the denominator polynomial. Click 'Calculate Roots' to find the roots. The roots will be displayed below, and a visualization of the function will be shown, highlighting the roots on the graph.

This tool is helpful for algebra students, educators, and anyone needing to quickly find the roots of rational functions for analysis or problem-solving.
