Question

Identify whether each formula defines a rational function. If so, identify two polynomials whose ratio comprises it. g(t) = -6t^-2

Answer 1

• It is a rational function.

,

• Polynomials:, ,-6 and t²

Step-by-step explanation

This function,

`g(t)=-6t^(-2)`

Is a rational function. When a value or variable is the base of a negative exponent, then we can flip the base and put a positive exponent - if it has no denominator, then the new numerator will be 1,

`g(t)=-6\cdot(1)/(t^2)=(-6)/(t^2)`

The two polynomials are -6 and t².
