Inverse Variation (p. 205) Domain: 5 ƒ q12 Z 06 Vertical asymptotes: With R12 in lowest terms, if q1r2 = 0, then = r is a vertical asymptote. Horizontal or oblique asymptotes: See the summary on page 198. Let and y denote two quantities. Then y varies inversely with, or y is inversely proportional to, if there is a nonzero constant k such that y = k. Remainder Theorem (p. 220) If a polynomial f12 is divided by - c, then the remainder is f1c2. Factor Theorem (p. 220) - c is a factor of a polynomial f12 if and only if f1c2 = 0.

If in lowest terms, is a rational zero of f, then q, p must be a factor of a 0 and q must be a factor of a n. Intermediate Value Theorem (p. 229) Let f denote a continuous function. If a 6 b and f1a2 and f1b2 are of opposite sign, then f has at least one zero between a and b.
