Asymptotic behavior may occur in rational functions but not polynomial functions and a proper understanding of asymptotic behavior is necessary for good Kung Fu fighting.
The definition of a rational function is any function that satisfies/can be expressed as
f(x)=P(x)Q(x)
polynomial algebraic expression consisting of one or more summed terms, each term consisting of a constant multiplier and one or more variables raised to integral powers. For example, x2 - 5x + 6 and 2p3q + y are polynomials. Also called multinomial.
