1.   What is the equation of the vertical asymptote of the function ?
    A. x = 1 B. y = 1
    C. x = -4 D. x = 2
    Hint

  2.   If the rational expression of a function in simplest form is defined for x = a, but the original function is undefined for x = a, what happens at x = a?
    A. There is a point discontinuity. B. There is a vertical asymptote at x = a.
    C. There is a vertical asymptote at x = 0. D. f(a) = 0
    Hint

  3.   What is the equation of the vertical asymptote of the function ?
    A. There is a hole at 4, not a vertical asymptote. B. x = –4
    C. x = 5 D. x = 4
    Hint

  4.   The function has which of the following properties?
    A. f(x) = 0 for all values of x. B. It has a hole at (3, 0).
    C. f(x) = 1 for all values of x. D. It has a hole at (3, 1).
    Hint

  5.   In a certain job, the function represents the amount of hours worked x in relation to the amount of stress f(x) felt by the workers. For what values of x does this graph have meaning?
    A. for and x > 40, because stress is a non-negative quantity B. for
    C. for and x < 40 D. for all values of x
