TRUE OR FALSE To make a sketch of any rational function whose numerator is a number and whose denominator is a factored polynomial, use the following rule of thumb:

The function has a vertical asymptote at every x-value where its denominator is zero, and the function is always negative between two asymptotes.

Since opening night, attendance at play a has increased steadily, while attendance at play b first rose and then fell. equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since opening night. on what day(s) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? play a: y = 8x + 191 play b: y = -x^2 + 26x + 126
