Rational Functions 2

The document provides information on learning competencies related to rational functions, equations, and inequalities. It includes: 1) Definitions of rational numbers, expressions, equations, and inequalities. 2) Examples of using rational functions to model real-life situations such as students completing a video or drug concentration in the bloodstream. 3) Steps for solving rational equations which involve finding the least common denominator and multiplying both sides by this value.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES: At the end of this

module, the learner should be able to;


• represents real-life situations using rational
function
• distinguishes rational function, rational equation,
and rational inequality
• solves rational equation and inequalities
• finds the domain and range of a function.
Introduction

• In arithmetic the ratio of two numbers or


integers is a rational number
• In algebra the ratio of two polynomials is a
rational expression.
• A rational number is a number that can be in the
form p/q
where p and q are integers and q is not equal to
zero.
Examples:
, ,
Non-Examples of Rational Expression

Exponent of a polynomial should not be in fraction form.

Exponent of a polynomial should not be negative

Real-life situations using rational function

A number of real life situations can be modeled by rational


functions. Here are some
situations that can be modeled by rational functions.
1. Bryan can create a full length music video in four days. His
youngest brother Bert can create the same full-length music
video in three days. If they work together, the rational
equation: = 1, can be used to determine the number of days
it would take for them to complete the full-length music video.
2. Bus A travels a distance of 240 km. Bus B travels a distance
of 320 km. Bus A travels 10kph more than the speed of Bus B.
If the two buses travel at the same time, the speed of the two
buses can be determined using the relation
=
3. A medical student can encounter the formula ,
C(t) = which is used to determine the percent of
drug content in a person’s bloodstream, where t is the
time elapsed after the drug is injected.
• Rational Function is the quotient of two
polynomials and can be written
f(x) =
Examples of Rational Functions
1) f(x) =
2) f(x) =
3) Y =
Rational Equation is an equation containing at
least one rational expression.
Examples of Rational Equations

• Rational Inequality is a mathematical statement that
relates a rational expression as either less than or
greater than another.

• ⦤
ACTIVITY 1
• Direction. Identify whether the following are rational expression or not. Write RE if it is a rational
expression and NRE if it is not.

• 1. f(x) = 2. = 2x+ 1

• 3. > 4. =

• 5. =
Activity 2
• Identify whether the following expressions are RATIONAL
EQUATION, RATIONAL FUNCTION OR RATIONAL INEQUALITY.
1. Y = 2. =

3. ⦥ 0 4. x2 + = x – 1

5. 6. f(x) =
Solving Rational Equation and Rational Inequalities

In solving a rational equation, follow the steps:


1.Find the least common denominator (LCD). The LCD
is actually the least common multiple (LCM) of the
denominators.
2.Multiply both sides of the equations by the LCD.
3.Solve the equation.
4.Check the solution by substituting the value you got to
the given equation.

10X + 4 = 7
12(5x + 2 ) = (7)(6) 10X = 7 – 4
60x + 24 = 42 10X = 3
60x = 42 – 24 X=
