domain is the set of all real numbers such that is not equal to and ”.
Domain and range of rational functions can also be identified through graphing of
rational functions. Let us now proceed on finding the zeroes, asymptotes, and
intercepts of rational functions to have a clearer view on its behavior.

FINDING INTERCEPTS, ZEROES, AND ASYMPTOTES OF RATIONAL


FUNCTIONS
It is of great help to recall or know first the definition of mathematical concepts before
solving. For sure, you encountered these in your math subjects in the junior high.
1. The y-intercept is the function value when . On the other hand, x-intercept
is the function value when
2. The zeroes of a function are the values of x which make the function zero. The
real numbered zeroes are also x-intercepts of the graph of the function.
3. The vertical line is a vertical asymptote of a function if the graph of
either increases or decreases without bound as the -values approach from
the right or left.
4. The horizontal line is a horizontal asymptote of the function if ( ) gets
closer to as increases or decreases without bound. This means that or
and read as “ approaches positive infinity or approaches negative
infinity.

To have a clearer view of these mathematical concepts, study the given example of
rational graph.

Graph of a Rational Function

Vertical Asymptote

𝑥-intercept or zero

Horizontal Asymptote

𝑦-intercept

Looking at the graph above, observe that the graph approaches the vertical and
horizontal asymptotes (illustrated as dashed lines) and gets closer, but will never
cross these lines.
Let us now learn how to find intercepts, zeroes, and asymptotes of rational functions.
The table below summarizes the steps.
How to find the: Do the following:
y-intercept Evaluate the function at .
x-intercepts/ zeroes Find the values of where the numerator will be zero.

Vertical asymptotes of a does not make the numerator zero, then the line is a
vertical asymptote.

decreases without bound. The graph also crosses the horizontal asymptote.
Therefore, the range of the function is the set of all real numbers. It is of good help to
see the behavior of rational functions through graphing. Try using mobile
applications that will graph your function such as GeoGebra and graphing calculator.

SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING RATIONAL FUNCTIONS


Not all types of real-life problems can be represented by linear, quadratic or any
other polynomial functions. Rational functions are of great importance in solving
number-related problems, motion, and work problems. A systematic approach in
solving problems should be observed to have a smooth and simplified procedure.
In this section, we will investigate the use of rational functions in several applications.
Number Problem
We start by recalling the definition of the reciprocal of a number

Definition: For any nonzero real number , the reciprocal of is the number .
Note that the product of number and its reciprocal is always equal to
the number . That is, .

Example: The difference of a whole number and its reciprocal is . What is the
number?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the unknown in the problem.
Let the whole number
the reciprocal of the number

13
Step 2: Form the equation that describes the problem.

Step 3: Solve the equation.


Copy the equation.

[ ] Multiply the equation by the LCD .

Distribute to all the terms.


Subtract both sides by or by transposition.
( )( ) Do factoring of trinomial.
Equate each factor to zero Equate each factor to zero
Subtract both sides by 1 or by Add both sides by 8 or by
transposition transposition

Divide both sides by 8

Since the missing number is a whole number, cannot be accepted as an answer.


Thus, the whole number in the problem is .

Motion Problem
Motion problems are usually modelled by rational functions. When solving motion
problems, we should recall the distance is equal to the product of the speed and the
time.

In symbol, we have where is the distance, is the speed, and is the time.
Transforming the formula, we also have and .

Example: Mario and Pedro are students from Sports track of Baguio City National
High School. They decided to practice sprinting at Baguio Athletic Bowl.
Mario runs faster than Pedro. When Mario travelled a distance of
, Pedro has gone . What is the speed of both sprinters?

Solution:
Step 1: Represent the unknown in the problem.
Note that time is expressed as .
Let speed of Pedro
speed of Mario
Sprinter Distance Speed Time
Pedro
Mario

14
Step 2: Form the equation that describes the problem.
Since the time is spent by both sprinters are equal, we have the equation

Step 3: Solve the equation.


Copy the equation.

[ ] ( ) Multiply the equation by the LCD ( ).

( ) Distribute ( ) to all the terms.


Distribute to .
Subtract both sides by or by transposition.
Combine similar terms.
Divide both sides by .

The speed of Pedro is . The speed of Mario is represented by and it


will be . So, Mario’s speed is

Work Problem
A nice application of rational functions involves the amount of work a person (or
team of persons) can do in a certain amount of time. We can handle these
applications involving work in a manner similar to the method we used to solve
distance, speed, and time problems. Here is the guiding principle.
Work, Rate, and Time. The amount of work done is equal to the product of the rate
at which work is being done and the amount of time required to do the work. That is,
Work = Rate × Time.
Transforming the formula, we also have and
where , , and .
Example: From the previous module, Maria can sew 30 shirts in 4 hours while Petra
can do the same job in 5 hours. How long will it take them to finish the
same job if they work together?
Solution:
Step 1: Represent the unknown in the problem.
Note that rate is expressed as . Consider sewing 30 shirts as 1 Work
because it is the same job for both Maria and Petra.
Let combined rate of Maria and Petra to sew 30 shirts
Tailor Work (sew 30 shirts) Time Rate
Maria hours
Petra hours
Maria and Petra

15
Step 2: Form the equation that describes the problem.

Step 3: Solve the equation.


Copy the equation.

[ ] Multiply the equation by the LCD .

Distribute to all the terms.


Combine similar terms.

or Divide both sides by .

If Maria and Petra work together, they can finish sewing 30 shirts in .
