REPRESENTATIONS OF

RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
HOW TO REPRESENT A POLYNOMIAL
FUNCTION PROBLEM?

• Table of Values
• Graphs
• equation
 Example 1
• A siomai vendor can wrap 4 dumplings every minute.
If he wraps a total of 32 dumplings, how much time
did he spent wrapping?
• Use the 3 ways to justify your answer.
A. TABLE OF VALUES
B. GRAPHING
 C. EQUATION

T= time in Minutes
D= total number of Dumplings made
N= number of Dumplings made per minute

PERFORMACE TASK
• In order to join a voice lesson class, you pay a Php1,500.00 fee, then
Php500.00 for each class you go to. What is the average cost per
