standard_description: Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
problem_activity: Task
Sketch  graphs of the functions $f$ and $F$ given by $f(x)= |x|$ and $F(x) = x^2$
for $-2 \leq x \leq 2$.
Suppose $g$ is the function given by  $g(x) = \frac{f(x)}{x}$ for  $x \neq 0$ and
$G$ is the function given by  $G(x) = \frac{F(x)}{x}$ for $x \neq 0$.
Sketch  graphs of the functions $g$ and $G$  for $x \neq 0$ and $-2 \leq x \leq 2$.
Is there a natural way to define $g$ and $G$ when $x =0$? Explain.
