Lesson No.11 Domain and Range of Rational Functions

This lesson plan is about domain and range of rational functions. It defines domain as the x-values and range as the y-values of a rational function. It provides examples of finding the domain and range of various rational functions by setting the denominator equal to 0 to find exclusions in the domain, and by analyzing horizontal asymptotes to find exclusions in the range. Students are asked to find the domain and range of two additional rational functions as an assessment.

I. CONTENT/ TOPIC: Domain and Range of Rational Functions

● UNDERSTANDING
II. OBJECTIVES:
a. Define domain and range
b. Solve for domain and range of rational functions
III. REFERENCE
IV. Teaching Procedures/ Strategies:
Lesson: Domain and Range of Rational Functions
a. ACTIVITY: Concept Note #11

Rational functions
A rational function is a function of the form:
p( x )
f ( x )=
q( x )

where p and q are polynomials, and q ≠ 0


Domain – the x values

Range – the y values

p (x)
 The domain of a rational function f(x) = is all the values of x that will not
q(x)
make q (x) equal to zero.
 To find the range of rational function is by finding the domain of the inverse
function.
 Another way to find the range of rational function is to find the value of
horizontal asymptote.

Example 1:
2
f ( x )=
x−3

x–3=0 The domain of f(x) is the set of


x=3 all real numbers except 3

2
y=
x−3

2
x=
y−3
x (y – 3) = 2
xy – 3x = 2
xy 2+3 x
=
x x

2+3 x
y=
x

x=0 The range of f(x) is the set of all


real numbers except 0
Example 2:
x−5
f ( x )=
x +2

x+2=0
The domain of f(x) is the set of
x = -2
all real numbers except -2

x−5
y=
x +2

y−5
x=
y +2

x (y+2) = y -5
xy + 2y = y – 5
xy – y = -5 – 2x

y (x−1) −5−2 x
=
x−1 x−1

−5−2 x
y=
x−1

x–1=0 The range of f(x) is the set of all


x=1
real numbers except 1

Example 3:

(x−4)(x +2)
f ( x )=
( x −3)( x−1)

x–3=0 x–1=0
x=3 x=1
The domain of f(x) is the set of
all real numbers except 3 and 1

Horizontal Asymptote Concept:


2
x −6 x−8
f ( x )= n<m, y = 0
x ²−4 x+ 3
a
n=m, y=
b

n > m, there is no horizontal


asymptote

1
=1 The range of f(x) is the set of all
1
real numbers except 1

d. ASSESSMENT:

2 x+1

f ( x )=
x +2
