General Mathematics Lesson 4: Representing Real-Life Situations Using Rational Functions

This document discusses representing real-life situations using rational functions. It provides an example of expressing the velocity of an object traveling 10 meters as a function of time. It also gives the distances between Manila and Baguio and constructs functions to calculate the time it would take to drive between the two cities at different average speeds.

Lesson 4
Representing Real- Life Situations
Using Rational Functions
An object is to travel a distance of 10 meters. Express
velocity v as a function of travel time t, in seconds.

t (s) 1 2 4 5 10
v (m/s) 10 5 2.5 2 1

v(t) = 10
t
The distance from Manila to Baguio is around 250
kilometers.
 
How long will it take you to get to Baguio if your
average speed is 25 kilometers per hour? 40
kilometers per hour? 50 kilometers per hour?
 
(b) Construct a function that describes the time it
takes to drive from Manila to Baguio.
v 25 40 50
(km/h)
t (h) 10 6.25 5

t(v) = 250
