Lesson Description:

Given a rational functions that consists of a ratio of rational functions, setting the top expression (the numerator) equal to zero and then solving for x allows you to find values of x that cause the value of the function (y-value) to equal zero. When graphing, this is where the graph you are drawing will cross the x-axis.
