Representations of
Rational Functions
Some real-world
problems can be
modelled using
rational functions.
We can represent rational
functions by means of
table of values, equation,
and graph.

Illustrative Example:
The local barangay received a budget
of Php100 000 to provide medical
check-ups for the children in the
barangay. The amount is to be
allotted equally among all the
children in the barangay.

Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities
Is it valid to multiply both sides of an inequality by a variable?
Why or why not?

It is not valid to multiply both


sides of an inequality by a
variable. Recall that :

Is it valid to multiply both sides of an inequality by a variable?
Why or why not?

• multiplying both sides of


an inequality by a positive
number retains the
direction of the inequality,
and
Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities
Is it valid to multiply both sides of an inequality by a variable?
Why or why not?
• multiplying both sides of an
inequality by a negative
number reverses the
direction of the inequality.
Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities
Is it valid to multiply both sides of an inequality by a variable?
Why or why not?
Since the sign of a variable is
unknown, then it is not valid
to multiply both sides of an
inequality by a variable.
Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities
Steps in Solving Rational Inequalities:
1. Rewrite the inequality as a single
fraction on one side of the
inequality symbol and 0 on the
other side. (Make sure that both
the numerator and denominator
are expressed as completely
factored.)
Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities
Steps in Solving Rational Inequalities:

2. Find the critical values for both


numerator and denominator.
These values will make the
numerator and denominator equal
to zero.

Steps in Solving Rational Inequalities:

3. Determine the intervals or


regions on the number line
determined by these critical
values.

Steps in Solving Rational Inequalities:

4. Choose a test number in


each interval or region.
5. Inspect the signs of the
numerator and denominator
in these test numbers.
