TOPIC: Solving rational function, rational equation, and rational inequalities.

I. PROBLEM SOLVING. Show your complete solution. (10pts)

1. Ann walks 7 kilometers from her house to the city proper to buy a new bike which she uses
to return home. She averaged 12 kilometers faster on her bike than on foot. If her total trip
took 1 hour and 40 minutes, what is her walking speed in kph?
𝑑
(HINT: Use the formula of velocity 𝑣 = 𝑡 . )

II. TABLE OF VALUES AND GRAPH.

𝑥 2 −3𝑥−10
2. Represent the rational function 𝑓(𝑥) = using table of values. Plot the points given
𝑥
in the table of values and sketch the graph. The domain is limited to −10 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 10.
III. Find the solutions for each rational equation. Show your complete solution.
