III. PROCEDURE
A. ACTIVITY:
a. Checking of attendance.
b. Cleanliness of the room.
c. Presentation

Tell whether each of the following function is a rational function.

1. 𝑓(𝑥) = 4. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 −4 + 5𝑥 2 + 𝑥 = 1
𝑥+2
𝑥−2 2𝑥
2. 𝑓(𝑥) = + 5. 𝑓(𝑥) = √3𝑥

3. 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 2
B. ANALIZATION
C. ABSTRACTION
Rational function is a function that can be written as the quotient of two
polynomial functions. Many real-world problems require us to find the ratio of two
polynomial functions. Problems involving rates and concentrations often involve
rational function.

D. APPLICATION
The teacher will group the class into four. Each group will be given question. One in
each group representative will picked question that they would be answering and
explaining their answer in front.
Questions:
1. In an interbarangay basketball league, the team from Barangay Matalang 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 at least 60%.
What will be their winning percentage if they win
(a) 10 games in a row? (b) 15? 20? 30? 50? 100 games?
2. Ten goats were set loose in an island and their population growth can be
approximated by the function
60(𝑡+1)
𝑃(𝑡) = ⌊ 𝑡+6 ⌋
Where P represents the goat population in year t since they were set loose.
Recall that the symbol ⌊. ⌋. denotes the greatest integer function.
a) How many goats will there be after 5 years?
b) What is the maximum goat population that the island can support?

3. The electric current I (in amperes) passing through a resistor is related to the
voltage V across a resistor (in volts) and the resistance R (in ohms) by the
formula I = V R. If the resistor is connected across the terminals of a car battery
(12 volts), construct a table of values of the current across the resistor for
different resistor values from 2000 ohms to 5,000 ohms. Use intervals of 1000
ohms. Plot these values as points in the Cartesian plane and connect the points.
Is this a smooth curve or a straight line?
𝑥−3
4. Construct a table of values for the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥+4 for −6 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2, x taking
on integer values. Identify values of x where the function will be undefined. Plot
the points corresponding to values in the table. Connect these points with a
smooth curve. Explain why the points cannot be joined by a single curve?

After 10 minutes, the work will be checked by the teacher soliciting ideas from the class whether
each group got all correct ideas or answers.

IV. EVALUATION

𝑥 2 +𝑥−6
Solve the rational function 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥 2 +𝑥−20

a) Construct a table of values for −6≤x≤2 where x takes on integer values

b) Plot and sketch the graph of the function.
c) Identify values where the function will be undefined.

V. ASSIGNMENT
What are the properties of rational function?
Group 1

Question:

In an interbarangay basketball league, the team from Barangay Matalang 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 at least 60%. What will be their winning percentage if
they win
(a) 10 games in a row?
(b) 15? 20? 30? 50? 100 games?

The team still cannot reach a 100% winning percentage. Note that the denominator
25 + x is greater than the numerator, so 100% cannot be achieved. This is reasonable,
since the team has lost 13 games already, so they cannot be perfect".
Group 2 2

Names:

Questions:

Ten goats were set loose in an island and their population growth can be approximated by the
function
60(𝑡+1)
𝑃(𝑡) = ⌊ ⌋
𝑡+6
Where P represents the goat population in year t since they were set loose. Recall that the
symbol ⌊. ⌋. denotes the greatest integer function.
a) How many goats will there be after 5 years?
b) What is the maximum goat population that the island can support?
Group 3 2

Names:

Questions:

The electric current I (in amperes) passing through a resistor is related to the voltage V across a
resistor (in volts) and the resistance R (in ohms) by the formula I = V/R. If the resistor is
connected across the terminals of a car battery (12 volts), construct a table of values of the
current across the resistor for different resistor values from 2000 ohms to 5,000 ohms. Use
intervals of 1000 ohms. Plot these values as points in the Cartesian plane and connect the
points. Is this a smooth curve or a straight line?
Group 4 2

Names:

Questions:

𝑥−3
Construct a table of values for the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥+4 for −6 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2, x taking on integer
values. Identify values of x where the function will be undefined. Plot the points corresponding to
values in the table. Connect these points with a smooth curve. Explain why the points cannot be
joined by a single curve?

The points cannot be joined by a single curve because f is not defined at x = −4. It has a
vertical asymptote there.
