LESSON 6 - Rational Functions, Equations and Inequalities
LESSON 6 - Rational Functions, Equations and Inequalities
I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students shall be able to:
a. distinguish rational functions, rational equations and rational
inequalities
III. Procedure
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Classroom Routine
Prayer
Greetings
Attendance
Class Rules
B. Development Activities
Review of Rational Expressions:
Examples of algebraic expressions and have the class identify if they are
rational or not.
2
x +3 x +2 Rational expression because it is a ratio of two
x+4 polynomials
1 Rational expression because the numerator 1 is a
3x
2 polynomial (of degree 0).
2
x + 4 x−3 Rational expression which is also a polynomial.
2
√ x +1 Not a rational expression since the numerator is not a
x 3−1 polynomial.
1 The expression is equal to
x +2 1
so it is a rational expression.
x−2 ( x +2)(x−1)
C. Lesson Proper
1. Activity: Let’s get Mathivated!
2. Analysis.
The teacher will ask the following questions:
o What did you observe in the activity?
o Did you having a hard time to understand the situations?
o Why is cooperation is being important in group activity?
3. Abstraction
The teacher will discuss the following concepts.
4. Application
Direction: Determine which of the following are rational
expressions.

Generalization
The teacher will ask the following questions:
o What is polynomial?
o What is the difference between rational equation and rational
expressions?
IV. Evaluation
The teacher will give an assessment to the students to assess their learnings.
