Quarter 1 – Module 2:
Rational Functions
In the previous module, we have learned about functions, its definitions and the operations involving it.
This time, you will be dealing with Rational Functions and its applications in real-life situations.
This module will help you understand the key concepts of rational functions and apply these concepts
to formulate and solve real-life problems with precision and accuracy.
Find out what you already know about this module by taking the pre-test.

_ 11 A group of high school students are volunteering for Habitat for Humanity during their summer break.
They are putting the finishing touches on a house they built. Working alone, Kendra can paint a certain
room in 7 hours. Joe can paint the same room in 6 hours. Write an equation that can be used to find how
long it will take them working together to paint the room. How many hours will it take them to paint the
room? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

1. The budget of a university organization is split evenly among its various committees. If they have a budget of
P60,000:
(a) Construct a functionwhich would give the amount of money each of the number of committees would receive.
(b). If the organization has eight committees, how much would each committee have?
2. A company has a budget of P90, 000 to be split evenly among its various offices. The marketing office of the
company receives twice the amount of money than the other offices.
(a) Given as the number of offices in the company, construct a function which would give the amount of money each
of the non-marketing offices would receive.
(b). If the company had five offices, how much would the marketing office receive? How much would each of the non-
marketing offices receive?

Example 2
What’s New
To solve rational inequalities:
(a) Rewrite the inequality as a single rational expression on one side of the inequality symbol
and 0 on the other side.
(b) Determine over what intervals the rational expression takes on positive and negative
values.
i. Locate the x values for which the rational expression is zero or undefined (factoring the
numerator and denominator is a useful strategy).
ii. Mark the numbers found in (i) on a number line. Use a shaded circle to indicate that the
value is included in the solution set, and a hollow circle to indicate that the value is
excluded. These numbers partition the number line into intervals.
iii. Select a test point within the interior of each interval in (ii). The sign of the rational
expression at this test point is also the sign of the rational expression at each interior
point in the aforementioned interval.

Representations of Rational Functions

What’s In
Learning Outcome(s): At the end of the lesson, the learner is able to representa rational
function through its table of values, graphs and equation, and solve problems involving rational functions.
Lesson Outline:
What’s New
A rational function is a function that is a fraction and has the property that both its numerator and
denominator are polynomials. In other words, R(x) is a rational function if R(x) = p(x) / q(x) where
p(x) and q(x) are both polynomials.
What Is It
Example
2. Continuing
the scenario
above, construct a
table of values for
the speed of a runner
against different
run times.
Solution.
A table of values can
help us determine
the behaviour
of a function as
the variable
changes.
The
current world
record (as of October
2015) for the 100-meter dash is 9.58 seconds set by the Jamaican Usain Bolt in 2009. We start our table of
values at 10 seconds.

Lesson Graphing Rational Functions
5
What’s In
Learning Outcome(s): At the end of the lesson, the learner is able to find thedomain and range, intercepts, zeroes,
asymptotes of rational functions, graph rational functions, and solve problems involving rational functions.
Lesson Outline:
1. Domain and range of rational functions.
2. Intercepts and zeroes of rational functions.
3. Vertical and horizontal asymptotes of rational functions.
4. Graphs of rational functions
What’s New
Recall:
1. The domain of a function is the set of all values that the variable x can take.
2. The range of the function is the set of all values that f(x) will take.
3. The zeroes of a function are the values of x which make the function zero. The real numbered zeroes
are also x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
4. The y-intercept is the function value when x=0.
