Chapter THREE: POLYNOMIALS, RATIONAL AND ALGEBRAIC FUNCTIONS

Welcome to the main web page for Chapter THREE of PRECALCULUS: College Algebra and Trigonometry. Use this page to move to the desired pointers within the chapter.

The chapter is divided into the following sections:
3.0  Review of Rational Expressions, Rational and Radical Equations
3.1  The Remainder, Factor and Root Theorems
3.2  Graphing Polynomial Functions
3.3  Rational Functions
3.4  Piece-Wise and Non-Rational Functions
3.5  Transformation of Graphs

In the textbook there are icons directing you to various support pages. The icon is used to reference pages that demonstrate aspects of using the TI graphing calculators. The icon is used to reference extra material on a topic. And the icon is used to reference further explanations of some point in the text. Below each icon in the text there is a sequenced name for the specific web page being referenced. Those icons and sequenced names are listed below as hyperlinks to the desired pages.
