Many real-world problems can be modeled by rational functions.

RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Lesson 1: Representing Real Life Situations Using Rational Functions
Lesson 1:
RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Rational Expression
 It is the quotient of two polynomials.
 A rational function is any ratio of two polynomials, where
denominator cannot be ZERO!
Examples: Not Rational:

x2 3x 2  2 x  5 4x x
y y 3 y y
x5 x  4 x2  5x  7 x2 x2  5
RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Asymptotes
 Asymptotes are the boundary lines that a rational function
approaches, but never crosses.
 We draw these as Dashed Lines on our graphs.
 There are three types of asymptotes:
Vertical
Horizontal (Graph can cross these)
Slant
RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Vertical Asymptotes
 Vertical Asymptotes exist where the denominator would be zero.
 They are graphed as Vertical Dashed Lines
 There can be more than one!
 To find them, set the denominator equal to zero and solve for “x”
RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Vertical Asymptotes
• Find the vertical asymptotes for the f ( x) 
x
following function: x 1
•Set the denominator equal to zero

•x – 1 = 0, so x = 1
•This graph has a vertical asymptote
at x = 1

functions:

g ( x)  VA : x  3
x3
x 1 VA : x  2
g ( x) 
( x  2)( x  5) VA : x  5
Horizontal Asymptotes
• Horizontal Asymptotes are also Dashed Lines drawn
horizontally to represent another boundary.
• To find the horizontal asymptote you compare the degree
of the numerator with the degree of the denominator
Horizontal Asymptote (HA)
Numerator
Given Rational Function: f ( x) 
Denominator
Compare DEGREE of Numerator to Denominator
If N < D , then y = 0 is the HA

If N > D, then the graph has NO HA
LC N
If N = D, then the HA is y 
LC D
Example #1
• Find the horizontal asymptote for the
following function: x
f ( x) 
x 1
•Since the degree of numerator is equal
to degree of denominator (m = n)
•Then HA: y = 1/1 = 1
•This graph has a horizontal asymptote
at y = 1

g ( x)  2 HA : y  3
x  3x  1
x3  1
g ( x)  HA : None
x5
Slant Asymptotes (SA)
• Slant asymptotes exist when the degree of the numerator is
one larger than the denominator.
• Cannot have both a HA and SA
• To find the SA, divide the Numerator by the Denominator.
• The results is a line y = mx + b that is the SA.
Example of SA
2x  4x  8

f ( x) 
x2 y  2x  8

Holes
• A hole exists when the same factor
exists in both the numerator and
denominator of the rational
expression and the factor is
eliminated when you reduce!

APPLICATION

they are positioned at different coordinates.
Then, draw circles that contain these pictures.
Using the pictures and the circles drawn on the grid, formulate problems
involving the equation of the circle and then solve them.

the unnecessary so that the necessary may
speak.”
