e. Review
Recall:
(a) The domain of a function is the set of all values
that the variable x can take. The intercepts of the
graph of rational function are the points of
intersection of its graph and an axis; the y – axis and
the x – axis.
(b) The range of the function is the set of all values
that f(x) will take.
(c) 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.
(d) The y-intercept is the function value when x = 0.
to find y-intercept simply evaluate the function at x =
0.
The x – intercept of the graph of function r(x), if it
exists, occurs at the zeros of the numerator that are
not zeros of the denominators. To find x – intercept
equate the function to 0.
(c) 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.
(d) The y-intercept is the function value when x = 0.
to find y-intercept simply evaluate the function at x =
0.
The x – intercept of the graph of function r(x), if it
exists, occurs at the zeros of the numerator that are
not zeros of the denominators. To find x – intercept
equate the function to 0.
A. Motivation
Present a simple scenario involving rational functions
to the class:
B. Presentation Finding x – and y –
From the previous activity, let them guess the intercepts of a
possible topic of the day. rational equations
C. Discussion
Illustrative Example:
1. Find the x – and y – intercepts of the following
rational functions:
❑ x−2
a. f( x ) =
x+ 2
2
x −3 x +2
b. f(x) = 2
x −4
2. Determine the zeros of the following rational
functions:
2
x−2 x + x−2
a. g(x) = b. g(x) =
x+6 2
x −4
VERTICAL ASYMPTOTE
- THE VERTICAL LINE x=a is a vertical asymptote
of a function f if the graph increases or
decreases without bound as the x values
approach a from the right or left.
Finding vertical asymptote
To determine the vertical asymptote of a
rational function, first reduce the given function
to simplest form then find the zeroes of the
denominator that are not zeros of the
numerator.
Examples: determine the vertical asymptote of each
rational function.
x−1
a. f(x) = b. f(x) =
x+5
x +2
( x +1)(x−4)
2
2 x −x+1
c. g(x) = 2
x −6 x+ 9
D. Application
Group Activity:
(In a group of three.) each group will be given an
envelop which contain rational equation by finding the
x- and y – intercepts.
E. Generalization To find y-intercept
Let us sum up what we had discussing a while simply evaluate the
ago. function at x = 0.
1. How you are going to find the x and y – To find x – intercept
intercept of a functions? equate the function
to 0.
F. Assessment
Directions: Supplementary Exercises. Solve

value x – and y - intercepts
H. Assignment
Directions:
Represent the rational function f(x) = x 2 − 3x − 10x
using a table of values. Plot the points given in the
table of values and sketch a graph by connecting the
points.
