Rationals and Radicals
Description
The Zero of a Rational Function is the value of the input variable for which the rational function equals zero. For example, in f(x) = (x - 1)/(x + 1), the zero occurs at x = 1. This term highlights the connection between the numerator of a rational function and its roots, which are essential for solving equations involving rational expressions.
