REPRESENTATION OF

RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Example:
A siomai vendor can wrap 4 dumplings every minute. If he
wraps a total of 32 dumplings, how much time did he spent
wrapping? Use the following to justify your answer:
a.table of Values
b. graph
c.equation
Solution:
For A, we will complete the table using the given
information provided in the problem. Since a vendor can wrap 4
dumplings per minute, we will add 4 dumplings for every minute
until we reach 32 dumplings
For B,
let us use the data we have in A and plot these points in a
Cartesian plane.
For C,
we can solve the problem by formulating a formula where we
divide the total number of dumplings made by the number of
dumplings per minute. In symbol,
𝑇=
Where;
T= Time in Minutes
D= Total number of Dumplings made
N= Number of Dumplings made per minute

Pueblo Por La Playa is a 12.5 hectare Mexican-inspired
exclusive leisure club nestled off the calm, clear waters of
Pagbilao Quezon. The "Pueblo" offers the total leisure and
recreation experience for the entire family. Since it is an exclusive
resort, it has a membership fee. Pueblo Por La Playa charges a
₱300,000.00 annual fee, then ₱700.00 for each day you stay
there. Find the average cost per day to stay in the resort in 5, 10,
15 and up to 30 days. Graph the function to show whether it
forms a straight line or a curve.
a. Define a formula for the average cost for every 5 days to stay
in the resort f(x). Hint: Since the problem asks for the average
cost, use the formula in getting an average.
b. Based from the situation above, complete the following table to
show the average cost every 5 days

c. Plot the following points on the cartesian plane

To graph, simply plot the points and connect it by a smooth
curve line.
a) Let f(x) represents the average cost per day and x represents the
number in days. Note that ₱300,000.00 is a fixed price you need to
pay plus the ₱700.00 per day divided by the number of days (x). We
will have,
b. For every 5 day stay in the resort, create a table of values
showing the average cost.
