Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

Answer:
c)
[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x(x+4)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
This is a Rational Function. The process of graphing it takes a lot more hard work than graphing other functions like linear, quadratic, modulus, and so on.
Here a list on how to proceed
First
1) Find the point of intersections by calculating the zeros of the function on the Numerator. In this case, we just have a 1 on top, so our graph won't intercept x-axis.
2) Calculate the vertical asymptotes by calculating the zeros of the function in the denominator, x²+4x=0 S=(0,-4) on green on the graph below.
3) Construct the table of values for x, and y
4) Trace the graph
By analyzing the asymptotes on the graph, we conclude that the correct option is C.
To do it, we need to see at which x-values we have asymptotes. These are the values of x where the denominator becomes equal to zero.
Here we can see that we have asymptotes at:
x = 0 and x = -4
Then the denominator must be a polynomial with roots at x = 0 and x = -4, this is written as:
(x - 0)*(x - (-4)) = x*(x + 4)
So the rational function is something like:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{x*(x + 4)}[/tex]
So the correct option is C.
