Representations of Rational Functions
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.
Write an equation representing the
relationship of the allotted amount per child
versus the total number of children. Make a
table of values and sketch the graph.
