 Lesson
Representations of Rational
1 Functions

This lesson is about representations of rational function in different ways. We will

deal with the application of rational functions that may involve the number of
persons who can do a task in a certain amount of time. We can handle these
applications involving work in a manner similar to the method we used to solve
distance, speed, and time problems.

What’s In

Let us recall on how to represent a polynomial function problem through table,

graph, and equation.

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.

Number of 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32
dumplings
wrapped
Minutes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Using this table, we can say that the vendor was able to wrap 32 dumplings in 8
minutes.

7
CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS
Module 7
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,
𝐷𝐷
𝑇𝑇 =
𝑁𝑁
Where;

T= Time in Minutes

D= Total number of Dumplings made

N= Number of Dumplings made per minute

Notes to the Teacher

Tell the students to use the proper scaling and labeling. It is
important that the graphical representations are neatly made
especially if not using a graphing paper.
Teacher can also introduce using tools such as GeoGebra, Desmos,
and other applications.

 What’s New

Life is a Beach!

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.

X 0 5 10 15 20 25 30

Y 0

Hint: Substitute the value of x in your equation

c. Plot the following points on the cartesian plane

To graph, simply plot the points and connect it by a smooth curve line.

CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS
Module 7
 What is It

The problem presented above is an example of Rational Function. To solve the

problem, let us answer each question one by one. Below is the definition of a Rational
Function.

Definition
𝑝𝑝(𝑥𝑥)
Rational function is written in the form of 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = . It should follow the
𝑞𝑞(𝑥𝑥)
following conditions namely:

1. Both p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions wherein it has no

negative and fractional exponents.
2. The denominator or q(x) should not be equal to 0.
3. The domain of all values of x where q(x) ≠ 0.

a. Define a formula for the average cost for every 5 days to stay in the resort f(x).
To define the formula, use the formula in getting the average cost.
Let the function be f(x). We can use the formula of getting an average. Average
𝑋𝑋
problems use the formula 𝐴𝐴 = , where A= Average, X= cost, and s= number of
𝑁𝑁
days

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,

300000 + 700(𝑥𝑥)
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) =
𝑥𝑥

Observe that it is similar to the structure of our original formula. Note that you will
be using a formula depending on the classification of problems given to you.

b. For every 5 day stay in the resort, create a table of values showing the average
cost.

Solution: Make a table of values with x-values at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30.

X 0 5 10 15 20 25 30
Y 0 20,965 41,930 62,895 83,860 104,825 125,790

From the table, we can observe that the average cost of stay decreases as the
time increases. We can use a graph to determine if the points of this function follow
a curve or a line

10
CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS
Module 7
 c. Graph the following points in the Cartesian plane.

By connecting the lines, we can clearly see that it follows a curve, thus a
Rational Function.

Example 2:
𝒙𝒙
𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) =
𝒙𝒙 + 𝟐𝟐
a. Since we already have an equation, we can skip this part. Proceed with the
table of values

b. Construct table of values from -2 to 2. We can substitute each value on

the equation to complete the table. We will get,

X -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) Und -1 0 0.33 0.5

We can observe that the value of f(x) is undefined in when x= -2. It is because
when you substitute -2 in the function it will have an answer of zero whereas
in the definition of rational function, we cannot have a denominator equal to
zero.

c. Plot the points in the Cartesian plane and determine whether the points
form a smooth curve or a straight line.

11
CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS
Module 7
 It can be observed that the function formed a curve.

What’s More

In the following activities, read each situation carefully to solve each problem. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

Practice Activity 1

Represent this rational equation through table and graph. Identify whether the graph
forms a straight line or a curve.
𝒙𝒙 + 𝟑𝟑
𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) =
𝒙𝒙 + 𝟏𝟏

a. Since we already have an equation, we can skip this part. Proceed with
letter b. Note that when given with a word problem, you cannot skip this
part.

b. Construct table of values from -2 to 2 .

Hint: Substitute the value of x to obtain f(x).

x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) -1 undefined 3 2 5
3

The function is undefined when x= -1 since it makes the denominator zero.

c. Plot the points in the Cartesian plane and determine whether the points
form a smooth curve or a straight line.

Rational function is one of the functions that is underappreciated because they say
we cannot use it in real life. No. Rational function can be seen in most of our daily
activities, we just didn’t know it.

Basketball League

In an inter-barangay basketball league, the team from Hermana Fausta has won 12
out of 25 games, a winning percentage of 48%. We have seen that they need to win
8 games consecutively to raise their percentage to 60%. What will be their winning
percentage if they win 10, 20, 30, 50, 100 games? Will they reach a 100% winning
percentage? (hint: try to substitute 300 games). Write your interpretation on the
space provided.

An application of rational functions may involve the number of persons who can do
a task in a certain amount of time. We can handle these applications involving work
in a manner similar to the method we used to solve distance, speed, and time
problems. Work = Rate x Time. Suppose you can finish a report in 2 hours. Your
classmate can finish the same report in 4 hours. How long will it take to finish the
report if both of you work together?

We have a saying that “Two heads are better than one”, would you rather work alone
or with a team? Why? Use 3-5 sentences to explain your answer.
