General Mathematics (Rational Function)

Good day to all!

In the realm of mathematics, there exists a special relationship that describes how one variable depends on
another, a function. Today, I will be talking about the rational function.
What exactly is a rational function?
This is a function that is a fraction and has the property that both its numerator and denominator are
polynomials.
Any function of one variable, x, is called a rational function if, and only if, it can be written in the form:
f(x) = P(x)/Q(x)
Where P and Q are polynomial functions of x and Q(x) is not equal to 0
How are rational functions useful in real-life situations?
They can be useful tools for representing real-life situations and for finding answers to real problems. In
particular, they are quite good for describing distance-speed-time questions, and modeling multi-person work
problems.
Here is an example:
Annie can do a job in 4 days and her assistant, Andrew can do the same job in 16 days. How long will it take
for Andrew and Annie to complete the job, if they work together?
Solution:
Part of the job Annie can do in 1 day = 1 / 4
Part of the job Andrew can do in 1 day = 1 / 16
Let t be the time taken by Annie and Andrew to complete the job.
[(Part of the job Annie can do in a day) × (Time taken by Annie)] + [(Part of the job Andrew can do in a day) ×
(Time taken by Andrew)] = 1
(1 / 4)t + (1 / 16)t = 1
[Write an algebraic model.]
[16 × (1 / 4)t] + [16 × (1 / 16)t] = 16 × 1
[Multiply both sides with the LCD 16.]
4t + t = 16
[Simplify.]
5t = 16
[Combine like terms.]
t = 16 / 5 = 31 / 5
[Divide each side by 5.]
The time taken by Annie and Andrew to complete the job together is 31 / 5 days.
In conclusion, rational functions are more than just a math lesson. They can be utilized in a logical manner and
applied in everyday life.

"Piecewise Function"
----* Piecewise Function – A function defined piecewise, that is f(x) is given by different expressions on
various intervals.
* ganto nalang sa piecewise function pinapalitan natin yung (x) depende sa given value ng domain.
(Palitan na si "ex" ha! Hanap ka nalang ng iba)
Ex.#1 (Easy) find f(3) for the function:
f(x) = { 4x + 6 }
Noted: ang (3) sya yung domain
>>> Step 1 - sabi ipalit daw kay "x"
yung value ng domain. (Substitute)
--- f(3) = { 4(3) + 6 }
>>> Step 2 - (Simplify)
--- f(3) = { 12 + 6 }
--- = 18 ang answer
Noted - Ang (18) sya yung range
----->>>> (3,18) <<<<-----
Domain (x) = 3
Range (y ) = 18
----------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluating a piecewise function
(Mas mahirap to, kaya pa?)
Ex.#2 find f(-5) and f(4) for the function:
f(x) = { x^2 - 3 if x<0 (1st equation)
{ 6x + 1 if x>0 (2nd equation)
>>Step 1 : Determine which equation to use based upon the value of x.
f(x) = x<0
f(-5) = -5<0 Ang "-5" ba? ay mas maliit kaysa "0" ? Tama! So we will use the first equation.
f(x) = x<0
f(4) = 4<0 Ang "4" ba ay mas maliit sa 0? Mali, so let's try the 2nd equation.
f(x) = x>0
f(4) = 4>0 Ang "4" ba? ay mas malaki kaysa "0" ? Tama! So we will use the second equation.
>>Step 2 : Substitute the value of x into the appropriate equation.
f(x) = x^2 - 3
f(-5) = (-5)^2 - 3 *subtitute
= 25 - 3 *simplify
= 22 *answer
f(x) = 6x + 1
f(4) = 6(4) + 1 *substitute
= 24 + 1 *simplify
= 25 *answer

Lesson 1: Random Variables
● Measures of Central Tendency (Singit ko lang to saglit hehe)
→ MEAN - A measure of central tendency calculated by dividing the sum of all values by the number of
valued in the data set (Data set is the collectiom of observations on one or more variables)
Note: Average and mean are the same.
Example:
Ang data set ay {1,2,3,4,5}. Add naten sila, 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 ← Divide naten to sa 5 since 5 yung data na nasa
set. 15 ÷ 5 = 3 ← Tadaaah! Eto na po mean 😂
→ MEDIAN - The value of the middle term in a ranked data set. The median divides a ranked data set into two
equal parts.
Example:
Yung sample set naten ule ay katulad sa taas, but ramble kunwari. {5,3,2,4,1} Hindi mo pwedeng kunin ang
median if di nakaarrange ang numbers from lowest to highest value.
Data Set
1
2
3 → This will be your median. Basic
4
5
● MODE - The value (or values) that occurs with highest frequency in a data set.
Example:
Ang data set kunwari ay {1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5}. May pinakamadaming bilang yung value na 4 kaya it will be your
Mode.
(Prerequisite ng Subject na Practical Research 2 itong Stats kaya most likely, etong central tendency ang
madalas na magamit sa pagcocompute or pag-aarange ng data.)
● RANDOM VARIABLE
→ A random variable is a numerical quantity that is generated by a random experiment.
→ A random variable, usually written X, is a variable whose possible values are numerical outcomes of a
random phenomenon.
● Types of Random Variable
→ Discrete Variable - is a (quantitative) variable whose values are countable.
Example: number of defective cellphones
→ Continuous Variable - is a (quantitative) variable that can assume any numerical value over a certain
interval or intervals. It represents measured data. (length, height, and weight)
■ Sample Space is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
X = {Head, Tails} = {0,1}
The possible values are 0 and 1.
● PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
→ It consists of the values of random variable assumed and the corresponding probabilities.
Example:
Suppose three coins are tossed. Let T be the random variable representing the number of tails that occur. Find
the probability of each of the values of the random variable T.
Sample space is {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, HHT, HTH, THH, HHH}
(Nasa baba ang step by step procedure to solve the given example above.)
● CONSTRUCTING A PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
1) Count the number of tails in each outcome and assign a number for each.
(Note: Imaginin niyo na lang na table yung baba. Mas organize kase if itetable of at least may categories for
each numbers para di malito. SS stands for Sample Space, T for Tail and H for Head)
SS ||| No. of tails
TTT 3
TTH 2
THT 2
HTT 2
HHT 1
HTH 1
THH 1
HHH 0
2) Assign the Probability Values P(T) to each values. (Lista naten sa baba yung mga values na nakuha naten
and kung ilan ang outcomes per sample)
Table kunwari yung sa baba xD
T | P(T)
3 | 1/8 or 0.125
2 | 3/8 or 0.375
1 | 3/8 or 0.375
0 | 1/8 or 0.125
= 8/8 or 1 >> Kapag nag-exact sa 1 yung sagot niyo, tama kayo. Haha
3) Probability values can be with fractions or decimals representing the occurrence of the variable on the
outcomes.
(Note: Mas madali iinterpret ang data or pinakafinal answer kapag decimal, round off na lang naten lalo na
kapag madaming numbers.)
Final Answer:
If you tossed three coins, there are 13% of chances that 3 tails and 0 tail will be the outcome and there are also
38% of chances that 2 tails and 1 tail will be the result. (Yung decimal ay ginawang percent hehez baka malito)
● PROPERTIES OF A PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
1) The probability of each value of the random variable must be between or equal to 0 and 1.
2) The sum of the probabilities of all values of the random variable must be equal to one.
