About the Module
This module was designed and written with you, students, in mind. It is here to help
you master the nature of functions. The scope of this module permits it to be used
in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged based on the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELCs) released by the Department of Education (DepEd)
for this school year 2020 – 2021.
This module is divided into five lessons, namely:
• Lesson 5 – Real Life Rational Functions
• Lesson 6 – Rational Functions, Equations and Inequality

common denominator. LCD refers to the lowest multiple shared by each original
denominator in the equation, or the smallest whole number that can be divided by
each denominator.

Factoring
Example 1: Factor 2𝑥 + 6
→ common factor is 2.

Therefore, the factors are 2 and x + 3

Example 2: Factor 3𝑥 2 + 12𝑥
→ common factor is 3x.
3x (x + 4)
Therefore, the factors are 3x and x + 4

Example 3: Factor 𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 15
Since there is no common factor, use factoring trinomials
So, we can factor the whole expression into
x2 + 8x + 15 = (x + 3)(x + 5)
Example 4: Factor 𝑥 2 − 16
Since there is no common factor, use the factoring of sum and
difference of two squares
So, we can factor the whole expression into
x2 - 16 = (x + 4)(x - 4)

 Solving Rational Inequality

To solve rational inequalities, you need to find the critical values of the rational
expression which divide the number line into distinct open intervals.

The critical values are simply the zeros of both the numerator and the denominator.
You must remember that the zeros of the denominator make the rational expression
undefined, so they must be immediately disregarded or excluded as a possible
solution. However, zeros of the numerator also need to be checked for its possible
inclusion to the overall solution.
Example:

Solve the rational inequality below.

𝒙+𝟑
>𝟎
𝒙−𝟐
Solution:
Step 1: Write the inequality in the correct form. One 𝑥+3
>0
side must be zero and the other side can have only 𝑥−2
one fraction, so simplify the fractions if there is
more than one fraction.

Step 2: Find the key or critical values. To find the 𝑥 + 3 = 0 and 𝑥−2 = 0
key/critical values, set the numerator and 𝒙 = −𝟑 𝒙=𝟐
denominator of the fraction equal to zero and solve.

Step 3: Locate the critical numbers using a number

line.

Step 4: Get a representative for each interval and

substitute it to each of the factors to determine
the sign. For example, you can use -4 from the
interval (-∞, -3) and substitute it to (x+3) and (x-2)
which are both negative when evaluated. Using
𝑥+3
the division rule of signs, determine the sign of
𝑥−2
in each interval.

𝑥+3
Step 5: Since should be positive, the solution
𝑥−2
must be (−∞, −3) ∪ (2, +∞).

Note: The use of a square bracket indicates that it

is part of the solution, while an open bracket
(parenthesis) denotes that it’s not.

What I Need to Remember

• A rational equation is an equation that contains one or more rational

expressions.
• A rational inequality is an inequality that contains one or more rational
expressions with symbols ≥, ≤, <, >, and ≠.
• The critical values of inequalities are simply the zeros of both the

What I Need to Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

What’s New

How do we represent rational functions through an equation?

In mathematics, a rational function is any function which can be defined by a
rational fraction, for example, an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator
and the denominator are polynomials. The denominator should not be equal to zero
also. Note that f(x) is just the same as y.

How do we represent rational functions through a table of values?

A table of values is a graphic organizer or chart that helps you determine two or
more points that can be used to create your graph. For example, we take the Example
2
1 above which is 𝑓(𝑥) = , we can start assigning values for x to get the value of
𝑥+1
f(x) in the table of values. In our example, we assigned integers from 0 to 3 for our x-
value.

x 0 1 2 3
f(x) or y 2 1 2/3 1/2
Solutions:

For x = 0 For x = 2

How do we represent rational functions through a graph?

Graphs refer to the plotting of points in the cartesian plane. We can take out the
coordinates in the previous example on the table of values.

x 0 1 2 3
f(x) or y 2 1 2/3 1/2
(x, y) (0, 2) (1, 1) (2, 2/3) (3, 1/2)

Step 1: Just create a cartesian plane and

graph the coordinates in the table.

Step 2: Label the points and construct an

imaginary line connecting the points of the (0,2)
graph. (1, 1)

REVIEW
These are the terms or group of terms you need to know before going to the
discussion on the domain and range of rational functions.
1. Set of Real Numbers (ℝ) – The real numbers include natural numbers or
counting numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers (fractions and
repeating or terminating decimals), and irrational numbers. The set of real
numbers consists of all the numbers that have a location on the number line.
2. Domain – the set of all x – values in a relation.
3. Range – the set of all y – values in a relation.

12
 4. Degree of Polynomial – the degree of a polynomial with one variable is based
on the highest exponent.
For example, in the expression x3 + 2x + 1, the degree is 3 since the highest
exponent is 3.

Domain and Range of Rational Functions

𝒑(𝒙)
A rational function is a function of the form 𝒇(𝒙) = , 𝒒(𝒙) ≠ 𝟎
𝒒(𝒙)

The domain of the rational function 𝑓 is the set of real numbers except those values
of x that will make the denominator zero.

How to find the Domain of a Rational Function?

The domain of a function consists of the set of all real number ( ℝ) except the value(s)
that make the denominator zero.
Example:
2
𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥+1
Step 1: Equate the denominator to zero.
x+1=0
Step 2: Solve for the value of x
x = -1 → use addition property of equality, add both sides by -1
Step 3: State the domain
Domain is all real numbers (ℝ) except -1
Or { x | x ∈ ℝ, x ≠ -1}

How to find the Range of a Rational Function?

The range of a rational function f is the set of real numbers except those values
that fall to the following conditions.
Case 1: If both polynomials (numerator and denominator) have the same
degree, divide the numerical coefficients of the highest degree terms.
Example:
4𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 4
𝑓(𝑥) =
2𝑥 2 − 8
4
→ Both polynomials are in 2nd degree, so the exception is at y-value 2 𝑜𝑟 2
Note that the numbers beside x2 are the only numbers that we base our
exception which are the numbers 4 and 2.
→ Stating the range:
The range is all real numbers (ℝ) except 2
Or { y | y ∈ ℝ, y ≠ 2}

13
 Case 2: If the polynomial in the numerator is a lower degree than the
denominator, the y-value 0 is the exception.
Example:
3𝑥 + 4
𝑓(𝑥) = 2
2𝑥 − 8
→ The degree in the numerator is 1 and the degree in the numerator is
2, since the numerator has lower degree than the denominator, 0 is
the exception.
→ Stating the range:
The range is all real numbers (ℝ) except 0
