Topic: Rational Functions, Equations and Inequalities
Learning Competency: Distinguish among rational functions, rational equations and
rational inequalities.
Subtask: Determine whether the given is a rational function, a rational equation, or a
rational inequality.
Alakazam!
Hey! Hey!, Hey!
Don’t be afraid, I’m
here to help you. Now tell me
I can see that there is what’s bothering
something bothering you, don’t be
you! afraid!
Okay! I think I can help you

with that!
To start, kindly read the
concepts below
Alakazam!
DEFINITION
A rational expression is an expression that can be written as a ratio of two polynomials.
EXAMPLES
2 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 3 5 𝑥−1 5𝑥
𝑥 𝑥+1 𝑥−3 2𝑥 + 3 4
RATIONAL EQUATION RATIONAL INEQUALITY RATIONAL FUNCTION
A function of the form

𝑝(𝑥)
An equation involving 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑞(𝑥) ,where p (x)
An inequality involving
rational expression rational expression and q(x) are polynomial
functions and g(x) is not
the zero function
(i.e., q(x) ≠ 0)

𝑥 2𝑥 5 2𝑥 4 𝑥−3 𝑥 3 𝑥
A rational equation or inequality can be solved for all x values that satisfy the equation or
inequality. A rational function expresses a relationship between two variables (such as x
and y), and can be represented by a table of values or a graph.

Try the following so that
you can practice what
you have read a
while ago.

rational inequality or none of them
