All living things take up a certain amount of space, and therefore have volume. They also have a certain amount of surface area. The ratio of surface area to volume, which is a rational function, reveals important information about the organism. Students look at different graphs of these functions for different organisms. Note: The download for this resources is the Promethean Flipchart.

In spite of their massive size, submarines are precision instruments. A submarine must withstand large amounts of water pressure; otherwise, a serious breach can occur. Rational functions are used to study the relationship between water pressure and volume. Students graph rational functions to study the forces at work with a submarine.

After briefly reviewing the concept of inverse variation, this video explores Boyle’s law, a real world example of an inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume of a gas. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, it goes on to examine similarities and differences among rational functions and numbers. Finally, it takes a look at rational functions graphs and ends with a delightful example merging Euclidean and analytic geometry, thanks to the TI-Nspire technology. Concepts explored: functions, rational expressions, rational functions, asymptotes Note: The download for this resources is the Promethean Flipchart.

Rationals and Radicals

Description

Addition of rational expressions involves combining rational expressions to create a new rational expression, often requiring a common denominator. Examples include 1 / x + 1 / 2x = 3 / 2x and 1 / (x + 1) + 1 / (x - 1) = 2x / (x2 - 1). This term introduces the concept of combining rational expressions, which is fundamental to operations involving fractions with polynomial expressions.

The geometric mean is the nth root of the product of n terms. Examples include the geometric mean of 3 and 12, √(3 × 12) = 6, and the geometric mean of 3, 4, and 12, ∛(3 × 4 × 12) ≈ 5.24. Geometric mean connects multiplication and roots, commonly used in statistics, geometry, and proportional reasoning.

Rationals and Radicals

Description

Graphs of radical functions have a characteristic shape where the domain is limited to values resulting in a positive radicand. For y = √x, the domain is x >= 0, and the range is y >= 0. This highlights the inherent properties of square root functions. Introduces the concept of radical graphs and their domain/range constraints, setting a foundation for graph behavior analysis.

Graphs of rational functions often feature asymptotes, which are lines the graph approaches but never touches. For example, f(x) = 1 / x has vertical and horizontal asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0, respectively. The domain and range exclude zero. Explains the unique characteristics of rational function graphs and the significance of asymptotes in defining their behavior.

Horizontal asymptotes describe the behavior of a graph as x approaches infinity or negative infinity. For example, the equation y = (x + 1) / (x - 2) has a horizontal asymptote at y = 1, demonstrating long-term behavior of the function. Focuses on the role of horizontal asymptotes in describing the long-term trends of rational functions.
