OUTLINE OF CONTENT AND TEACHER ACTIVITY –
Discussion of lesson:
p (x)
Definition. A rational function is a function of the form 𝑓(𝑥) =
q(x )
where 𝑝(𝑥)and 𝑞(𝑥) are polynomial functions and 𝑞(𝑥) is a nonzero polynomial. The domain of
𝑓(𝑥) is all values of 𝑥 where 𝑞(𝑥) ≠ 0.

Example 1. Given 𝑓(𝑥) =
x−3
(a) Construct a table of values using the numbers from -2 to 8. (b) Plot the points in the Cartesian
plane and determine whether the points form a smooth curve or a straight line.
(a)Solution
x -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(b) Connecting the points, we get the following graph which forms two different smooth curves.
Example 2. (It would be introduced in an another way of solving inequalities). Sketch the graph of
3 x +6
𝑓(𝑥) = .
x−1
6
Solution. The 𝑦-intercept is 𝑓(0) = = −6 (0,−6)
−1
3
For the horizontal asymptote, we have, 𝑦 = = 3. Since the 𝑥 and 𝑦 intercepts are already in the
1
left region, we won’t need to get any points there. That means, we’ll just get a point in the right
region. Say, 𝑥 = 2.
3 (2)+ 6 12
f (2)= = =12 (2,12) Plotting these points on the graph, we get the
2−1 1
following.
The definition of rational equations, inequalities and functions are summarized below.
