Definition of Rational Function
A rational function is a function that is expressed as a fraction of two polynomials.
Note: The polynomial in the denominator cannot be zero.
For example, \(f(x) = \dfrac{3x^4 + 6}{2x^3 + 8}\) is a rational function. Its numerator, \(3x^4 + 6\), is a polynomial, and so is its denominator, \(2x^3 + 8\).
