What is a Rational Function?
RATIONAL FUNCTION is defined as the
quotient of polynomials in which the denominator has a
degree of at least 1 (linear polynomial). In other words,
there must be at least one variable x in the denominator.
The general form of a rational function is f(x) =
𝑝 (𝑥 ) 𝑞 (𝑥
where p(x) and q(x) are polynomials and q(x) ≠ 0. )

3) Abdul and Esmael are planning to paint their house together.
Esmael thinks that if he works alone, it would take him 4
times as long as it would take Abdul to paint the entire
house. Working together, they can complete the job in 48
hours. How long would it take each of them, working alone, to
complete the job?
Solution:
Let x = time it takes Abdul to complete the job.
4x = time it takes Esmael to complete the job.

The x-and y-intercepts of a Rational Function
The x-intercept refers to the abscissa of a point of a
rational function along the x-axis. If a rational function f(x)
intersects the x-axis at (a, 0), the x-intercept is a.The y-
intercept
refers to the ordinate of a point of a rational function along the
y-axis. If a rational function f(x) intersects the y-axis at (0,
b), the y-intercept is b.

The Zeros of a Rational Function
The zeros of a rational function refer to the x-values for which
the function f(x) has a value of zero. If a rational function
intersects the x-axis, its zeros are also the x-intercepts (real zeros). If
it doesn’t intersect the x-axis, its zeros are imaginary or no zeros at
all. There are rational functions that have zeros but don’t have x-
intercepts.5 y

In this problem, Concentration
is a ratio of how much sugar

Application of Rational Functions and Rational Equations
Solution:
t = time in minutes
W(t) = the amount of water in gallons after t times.
S(t) = amount of sugar in pounds after t times.
W(t) = 200 + 15t
S(t) = 40 + 2t
The concentration is the ratio of pounds of sugar to gallons of
water. C(t) = the concentration after t times.
C(t) = C(8) = the concentration after 8 minutes.

What is One-to-one Function?
A function f is one-to-one (or injective) if f(x1) = f(x2)
implies x1 = x2. In other words, no two different abscissas
are paired with the same ordinate.

determine whether or not a graph of a function is one-to-

We are going to

What is Exponential Function?
If a > 0 and a ≠ 1, then the Exponential Function with base a is
the function f defined by f(x) = 𝒂𝒙 , where x is any real
number. In other words, Exponential Function is defined as a
