A. Reviewing previous lesson
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of rational functions
The learner is able to accurately formulate and solve real-life problems involving
rational functions.
The learner …
1. The learner distinguishes rational function, rational equation, and rational
inequality. (M11/12SP-IIId-2)

Opening Activity
1. Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance
3. House Rules
a. Listen attentively and follow the instructions.
b. Follow time allotment
c. Active participation in necessary in every activity
d. Give respect and appreciate the works of your classmates

B. Establishing a purpose for the Lesson
Recall that:
Rational expression is an expression that can be written as a ratio of two polynomials.
Provide examples of algebraic expressions and have the class identify if they are
rational or not. Have the student explain their reasons.
2
x +3 x +2 Rational expression because it is a ratio of two polynomials
x+4
 1 Rational expression because the numerator 1 is a polynomial (of degree 1)
3 x2

x2 + 4 x−3 Rational expression which is also a polynomial.

2

√ x +1 Not a rational expression since the numerator is not a polynomial

3
x −1
1 1
The expression is equal to so it is a rational expression.
x +2 ( x +2)( x−2)
x−2

C. Presenting Use the table below to show how to distinguish among rational equations, rational
examples/instances inequalities and rational functions.
of the new lesson
Rational Equation Rational Inequality Rational Function
Definition An equation involving An inequality involving A function of the form
rational expressions rational expressions of f ( x )=¿ ¿ where p( x )
and q ( x) are
polynomials functions
and q ( x) is not the zero
function.
Example 2 3 1 5 2 x 2+ 2 x +3
− = ≤ f ( x )=
x 2x 5 x−3 x x +1

A rational equation or inequality can be solved for all x values that satisfy the equation
or inequality. Whereas we solve an equation or inequality, we do not “solve” functions.
Rather, a function (and in particular, a rational function) expresses a relationship between
two variables (such as x and y), and can be represented by a table of values or a graph.
D. Discussing new concepts Determine which of the following are rational expression
and practicing new skills #1

E. Developing mastery Determine whether the given is a rational function, rational equation, rational inequality,
(Leads to Formative or none of these.
Assessment 3)

F. Making generalizations and Ask the learners to summarize the concept learned by differentiating and giving examples
abstractions about the lesson of rational function, rational equation and rational inequality.
G. Evaluating learning Determine whether the given is a rational function, rational equation, a rational
inequality, or none of these.

( x +1)
1. =10 Answer: rational equation
2x

2. f(x) = -5x3 - 4√x-1 Answer: none of these

( x +1)
3. ≤10 Answer: rational inequality
2x

( x +1)
4.f(x)= Answer: rational function
( x−1)
H. Additional activities for
application or remediation Write 5 examples of a rational function, rational equation and rational inequality.
