Unit 1 - Topic 2

This document discusses rational functions and their domains. It defines a rational expression as a ratio of two polynomials. A rational function is defined as a function whose expression can be written as a rational expression. The domain of a rational function consists of all real numbers except those that make the denominator equal to zero. Several examples of rational functions are given and their domains are determined by finding the values of x that make the denominators equal to zero.
