minute. If he wraps a total of 32 dumplings, how
much time did he spent wrapping? Use the
following to justify your answer:
a. table of Values
b. graph
c. equation

Representations of
Rational
Functions
 Rational functions
can be represented
What is It?
through the use of
(a)table of values,
(b)graph and
(c)equation.
 Rational function is written in the form
𝑝(𝑥)
of 𝑓(𝑥) = . It should follow the
𝑞(𝑥)
following conditions:
1. Both p(x) and q(x) are polynomial
Definition functions wherein it has no negative and
fractional exponents.
2. The denominator or q(x) should not be
equal to 0.
3. The domain of all values of x where
q(x) ≠ 0.

Given :𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥+2
a.Construct a table of values.
b.Plot the points in a Cartesian
Plane and determine
whether the points form a
smooth curve or a straight
line.

Given :𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥−3
a.Construct a table of values
using the numbers from -2 to
8.
b.Plot the points in a Cartesian
Plane and determine whether
the points form a smooth
curve or a straight line.
Ten goats were loose in
an island and their
population growth can be
approximated by the
60( 𝑡+1)
function P(t) = ⌊ ⌋
𝑡+6
a.How many goats
will there be after
5 years?
 a.Evaluate the function
for t = 5.
60( 𝑡+1)
P(5) = ⌊ ⌋=
Solution: 𝑡+6
⌊ 32. 726⌋ = 32
There will be 32 goats
after 5 years.
b. What is the maximum
goat population that
the island can support?
 t 5 10 15 20 50 300 1000
P(t) 32 41 45 48 54 59 59
If t increase, the function does not exceed 59.
The model suggests that the island can only support up to 59 goats.
(Note : since the model is just an approximation, there may be errors
and the number 59 may not be exact).

Construct table of values

 GROUP ACTIVITY:
In order to join a voice lesson class, you pay
a ₱1,500.00 pesos fee, then ₱500.00 for
each class you go to. What is the average
cost per class? Graph the function to show
whether it forms a straight line or a curve.
Represent the rational
2
𝑥 −3𝑥 −10
function :𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
using table of values. Plot
the points given.
Reminders:
•You may use graphing applications
like (desmos and geogebra) as
your guide in graphing.
•Final output will be placed in
graphing paper or 1 whole yellow
pad paper.
•There will be one output per
group.
