Ice is trying to solve Domain and Range of a rational function but, he wasn't able to solve any of them because he doesn't know where to draw the line of the chart. When the teacher saw him tearing off the paper. He asks him if there is something wrong.

"Actually, Teach," Ice said, "I was having a hard time solving this problem. Will you help me?"

"Ice," His teacher replied, "The teacher cannot help the student's work. That's illegal."

Ice feels sorry and worried about it but, the teacher tells him to write down on the board so that the students will help him solve the equation.

On the board, it is 2         3
                               ----- -- -----
                               x-2       x2-2x

The students starts to laugh because the thing is dumb and as a result. The answer was not solved.

"Okay students," Ollie said to the students, "Reviewing time is over. So grab a paper and a ball ink of ballpen for your quiz." He erases the writings of the board while Ice goes back to his seat for the preparation of the quiz.

At the quiz, Ice is having a hard time and also he gets a bit of stress because he sees on the paper some of the equations with tough one. So all he has to do is to try his best on solving on one of the equations one-by-one.

The next day. Ollie gives the test paper on the respective students one-by-one. Ice's grade on the test paper is a failure because the equations on what he is solving in each question doesn't look right. There are some of them that there is missing on the solution.

While the class is in discussion. Ollie asks Ice if he wants to write on the board so that he can help him solve his equation and to cheer him up. The next lesson that they will be taking is the Horizontal Asymptote of a Rational Function.

Ice stands up and writes his own question on the board. It is y = x2 + 3x + 1
                                                                                                                -----------------.
                                                                                                                     4x2 - 9

When the bell starts to ring, the teacher said to the students that they will be having their lunch break at this point.

"Wait," Ice said worrying, "What about the solution on the board?"

"Don't worry Ice," Ollie replied, "We'll solve this math problem after your UCSP class."

"Okay." He understands him and leaves the classroom.

At the school canteen. Ice talks to his friends about the math thing.

"Ice," Sugi said worrying, "What happened to your math thing?"

"I don't know what happened to my test," Ice replied worrying, "But, there is one point on my paper."

"Then, what is it?"

"Here. Have a look." He shows his test paper to his friend.

Sugi exclaimed that his test paper's solution is a mess. He returns it to him and tells him that he needs to study hard in order to get the grades more higher.

When he returns to the classroom. He sees someone had solved the math problem. The students starts to chat to each other and question that who solved it. As it turns out that no one has solved it but, he wants to know who solved it.

He writes the math question this afternoon on the board then, takes a peak on the window to see who solve it.

The school janitor opens the door before he cleans the school classroom. He sees the math equation written on the board. He gets the marker to solve the writing on the board before he continues to clean the classroom.

He takes the picture of him then, tells it to his friends about it.

"Carrie," Ice said, "Did you see that?"

"What do you mean that?" She questions him unconsciously.

"There is someone solving my question and I want to know who is writing on the board."

"Okay. So did you see him or her writing on the board?"

"Yes, and here's the picture." He shows the picture to her.

"You mean the janitor solved your equation?" Carrie exclaimed.

"Yes. I saw it in my own eyes."

"Okay. So you need to talk to him tomorrow morning."

"Right."

Carrie and Ice head straight to their homes.

"Hey, how's school?" Ken said, "Did everything went well?"

"Actually..." Ice replied, "No."

"What? What happened?"

"It's because my paper give me a low score."

"Oh. That's too bad. You'll get it next time."

"Okay."

"And what's that picture on your bag? Can I see it?"

"Actually. It's private property."

"It's just only me. So I won't tell anybody about it."

"Okay."

Ken looks at the picture that his son had taken this morning. And as it turns out. It's the janitor solving ice's equation.

"Hey will you look at that," Ken said happily, "It's just someone just solved your solution."

"Yeah. It's the janitor solving my question."

"What, how did you know?"

"I spy at the classroom so that I just want to know who solved it."

"I see... But, the janitors are not allowed to write down the answer and second you are not allowed to leave the writings during break and dismissal."

"Okay, I see..."

"Since this is your first time doing it. Then, I won't tell anyone about it."

"Okay."

The next morning, Ice tells to his math teacher at the school faculty. He said that the school janitor had solved the math equation. Ollie exclaimed after he seen the report of the student. He goes directly to the school principal to report about the thing he made. As the result. He tells the student to make a tutor on the math lesson. So as a result he made a deal.

The tutor result is somewhat nice so this will help Ice on his math test as soon as his their.

When the authorities came about the math genius janitor. They ask help about some different task that they need to comply about but, he refuses because he already has a job.

The authorities are not satisfied and heads out to their respective areas.

After Ice's class time. He talks to the janitor if he is going to take another math tutor but, he said that he will continue his janitor duties. So all he has to do is to study hard in order to get a higher grade.
