Scene 1: Definition of Quotient of Functions

Gula: Function is defined as a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where
each input is related to exactly point. Also, function is distinguished from a basic
equation by having an independent variable, typically called as x, which can take on the
“range”, actually, a domain, of different values, and a dependent variable, typically called
as y but mostly it is represented as f(x), which depends on x in a particular way, and is
specified by an equation between them (Patton, 2014). In general, function is an
equation for which any x that can be plugged into the equation will yield exactly one y out
of the equation. As you can see, here are some examples of functions (shown in the
virtual presentation). Now, let us define what “Quotient of Function” is: Quotient of
Functions is a process in which two functions will be divided for which the dividend must
not be equal to zero. This function is defined in an equation of f divided by g of x is equal
to f of x divided by g of x for which f(x) and g(x) are the given functions. To further
understand what “Quotient of Functions” is all about, let’s find some people and ask
them to give us some information about “Quotient of Functions”. Tara!

Scene 2: Real Life Situation of Quotient of Functions

Gula: Classmate?
Gabby: Yes?
Gula: Can I ask some questions?
Gabby: Ok, what is it?
Gula: Classmate, I just wanted to ask if you have some ideas or informations regarding quotient
of functions?
Gabby: Uhmmm… I can’t define what quotient of function is, but I can show it to you. See this
apple? You can apply this apple as a real-life situation of dividing functions. For
example, you want to divide these two apples to this apple and let say these two apples
is equivalent to x2-4x and 8x-5 and this apple is equivalent to x-1. So, for us to divide,
first is you need to add these two apples, resulting to the expression x2+4x-5. After that,
you will factor x2+4x-5 for us to have a cancellation later. So, the factor of x2+4x-5 will be
(x+5) (x-1). And because (x+5) (x-1) can be divided by x-1, then we can cancel x-1 both
sides leaving the expression x+5. Therefore, the final answer will be x+5. And that will be
my own interpretation when we say quotient of functions.
Gula: Oww…I get it now. Thank you, classmate.
Gabby: you’re welcome.
Scene 3: Examples of “Quotient of Functions”
Gula: Now, we have some ideas on how to perform “Quotient of Functions”. But to further
understand how to solve quotient of functions, here’s Kyla, Leonarose, Erlindo and Ken
to show us more examples about quotient of functions. In these examples, Kyla will
perform an easy equation, Leonarose will perform a normal equation, Erlindo will
perform a hard equation and Ken will perform a word problem. Come, and let’s solve
some “Quotient of Functions”.
