8 Rational Number (Q) It is a number that can be written as a fraction or ratio and whose numerators and denominators are integers provided that the denominator is not equal to 0.

9 The Definition of Rational Function If we let P() and Q() be two polynomials, then a function of the form: P( ) f ( ) Q( ) is called a RATIONAL FUNCTION.

10 The Domain of the Rational Function The domain of f() is the set of real numbers ecept those for which Q() = 0.

11 Take Note: Since division by zero is impossible, a rational function has a DISCONTINUITY whenever its denominator is zero.

12 Did you know? The denominator of a rational function cannot be zero. Any value of the variable that would make the denominator zero is NOT PERMISSIBLE.

13 Take Note: The domain of a rational function is the set of all real numbers, ecept those that make the denominator zero.

14 Some Eamples of Rational Function: f 3 2 ( ) ; 2 2

34 Something to think about What is your idea of a rational equation?

35 Eample 46: Solve the rational equation:

36 Something to think about How to solve rational equations?

37 Solving Rational Equations To solve a rational equation, we multiply each term of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of any fractions.

38 Solving Rational Equations The resulting equation should be equivalent to the original equation and be cleared of all fractions as long as we do not multiply by zero.

39 Steps in Solving an Equation Containing Rational Equations Step 1: Determine the LCD of all the denominators.

40 Steps in Solving an Equation Containing Rational Equations Step 2: Multiply each term of the equation by the LCD.

41 Steps in Solving an Equation Containing Rational Equations Step 3: Solve the resulting equation.

42 Steps in Solving an Equation Containing Rational Equations Step 4: Check your answer by substituting it into the original equation. Eclude from the solution any value that would make the LCD equal to zero. Such value is called EXTRANEOUS SOLUTION.

43 Final Answer: Hence, 1 is the solution of the given equation.

44 Eample 47: Solve the rational equation:

45 Final Answer: Hence, 6 is the root of the given equation.

46 Eample 48: Solve the rational equation:

47 Final Answer: Hence, 1 is the only root of the given equation.

48 Eample 50: Solve the rational equation:

54 Rational Inequalities An inequality that contains rational epressions is referred to as RATIONAL INEQUALITIES.

55 Rational Inequalities It is a rational equation that contains an inequality.

56 Eample 50: Solve the rational inequality, then, graph its solution set:

57 Step 1: Solving Rational Inequalities Determine the critical numbers for f() by establishing the zeros of f() and ecluded values for f(). We can solve for the zeros of f() using the numerator of the rational function.

58 Step 2: Solving Rational Inequalities Plot the critical numbers in the number line into intervals and create a table for test of values of.

59 Test of Values Intervals Test of Value f() Sign of f()

60 Rational Inequality Theorem 1: If the rational inequality is of the form f() > 0 or f() 0, then all of the intervals with the positive sign are solutions. Also, the zeros of f() are part of the solution if f() 0.

61 Final Answer: The solution is the interval notation: 9 4or 1.

62 Eample 51: Solve the rational inequality, then, graph its solution set:

63 Step 1: Solving Rational Inequalities Determine the critical numbers for f() by establishing the zeros of f() and ecluded values for f(). We can solve for the zeros of f() using the numerator of the rational function.

64 Step 2: Solving Rational Inequalities Plot the critical numbers in the number line into intervals and create a table for test of values of.

65 Test of Values Intervals Test of Value f() Sign of f()

66 Rational Inequality Theorem 2: If the rational inequality is of the form f() < 0 or f() 0, then all of the intervals with the negative sign are solutions. Also, the zeros of f() are part of the solution if f() 0.

67 Final Answer: Since the rational inequality is of the form f() < 0, then the solution is: 3or1 2.

69 Lecture 9: Asymptotes of Rational Function SHMth1: General Mathematics Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM Mr. Migo M. Mendoza

70 Did you know? There are three (3) saddest love stories in Mathematics

71 The Painful Asymptote There are people who may get closer and closer to one another, but will never be together.

72 The Painful Parallel You may encounter potential people, bump onto them, see them from afar, but will never actually get to know and meet them; even in the longest time.

73 The Painful Tangent Some people are only meant to meet one another at one point in their lives, but are forever parted.

74 The Definition of the Asymptote It is a straight line associated with a curve such that as a point moves along infinite branch of the curve the distance from the point to the line approaches zero and the slope of the curve at the point approaches the slope of the line.

75 Types of Asymptote 1. Vertical Asymptote 2.Horizontal Asymptote 3.Oblique Asymptote

76 Eample 53: Find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes (if any) for: 1 f ( ). ( 4)

77 Type 1: Vertical Asymptote Given a rational function: P( ) f ( ) ; Q( ) Q( ) If f() approaches infinity (or negative infinity) as approaches a real number a from the right or left, then the line = a is a VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE. 0.

78 Theorem 2.1: Vertical Asymptote If a is a real number such that Q(a) = 0 and P(a) 0, then the line = a is a vertical asymptote of the graph f ) ( ) ( ) ( b b b b a a a a Q P f m m m m n n n n

79 Type 2: Horizontal Asymptote Given a rational function: P( ) f ( ) ; Q( ) Q( ) If f() approaches infinity (or negative infinity) as f() approaches a real number b, then the line y = b is a HORIZONTAL ASYMPTOTE. 0.

80 Theorem 2.2.a: Horizontal Asymptote The horizontal asymptote of the graph f may be found by the following rules: If n < m, then y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote ) ( ) ( ) ( b b b b a a a a Q P f m m m m n n n n

81 Theorem 2.2.b: Horizontal Asymptote The horizontal asymptote of the graph f may be found by the following rules: If n=m, then is a horizontal asymptote ) ( ) ( ) ( b b b b a a a a Q P f m m m m n n n n

82 Theorem 2.2.c: Horizontal Asymptote The horizontal asymptote of the graph f may be found by the following rules: If n>m, then there is no horizontal asymptote ) ( ) ( ) ( b b b b a a a a Q P f m m m m n n n n

83 Type 3: Oblique Asymptote A rational function P( ) f ( ) ; Q( ) Q( ) 0. has an oblique asymptote if the degree of P() is greater than the degree of Q().

84 Final Answer: The vertical asymptote of the rational function is = 4; The horizontal asymptote is y = 0; and The rational function does not contain any oblique asymptote.

85 Eample 54: Find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes (if any) for: f ( )

89 Eample 56: Find the vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes (if any) for: f ( )

90 Final Answer: The vertical asymptote of the rational function are = -3 and = 1; The graph has no horizontal asymptote; and The oblique asymptote is y = 4-6.
