Rational Functions
This unit of instruction you will learn how to work with rational expressions and functions. These are basically functions where the variable is in the denominator.
Big Ideas:
1. Two quatities are said to be inversly proportional if as one increases, the other decreases at a constant rate.
2. Rational functions have restriced domains and that results in asymptotes that affect the graph.
3. Rational expressions can be simplified through various factoring techniques.
Some Real-Life Applications:
Gravitational potential energy, surface tension, an animal's heart rate compared to life span, mixtures, and all kinds of ratios of quantities.
