Standards for Mathematical Practice
• 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others. • 4. Model with mathematics. • 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. • 6. Attend to precision. • 7. Look for and make use of structure. • 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

CCSS: A.CED.1• Create equations and inequalities in one
variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

Essential Question(s): • How do I solve a rational equation? • How do I use rational equations to solve
problems?

Recap of This Unit• So far in this unit we have:
Talked about Polynomial Functions with one variable.
Graphed polynomial functions with one variable.Learned how to use Quadratic Techniques.Talked about the Reminder and Factor Theorem.Roots and Zeros.

Next up…• In this section, we
will apply ourknowledge of solving polynomial equations to solving rational equations and inequalities.

Example 1• Solve the equation below:
• When each side of the equation is a single rational expression, we can use cross multiplication.
• It is VERY important to check your answer in the original equation.

LCDs: Performance-Enhancing Math
Term?• When a rational equation is not
expressed as a proportion (with one term on each side), we can solve it by multiplying each side of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of the rational equation.
• NOTE: To balance the equation, we must be sure to multiply by the same quantity on both sides of the equation.
7-time Cy Young Awardwinner Roger Clemensnever “knowingly used
LCDs” in his career.

“One less thing to worry about”
• If one or more of your solutions are not valid in the original equation, they are called “extraneous solutions” and should not be included in your list of actual solutions to the equation.
• The graphs of rational functions may have breaks in continuity. Breaks in continuity may appear as asymptote (a line that the graph of the function approaches, but never crosses) or as a point of discontinuity.
If your solution doesn’twork in the original
equation, well, I guessthat’s just one less thing you has to worry about.

Solving rational equations• Find the LCM for the denominators• Any solution that results in a zero in denominator
must be excluded from your list of solutions.• Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCM to
get rid of all denominators• Solve the resulting equation (may need quadratic
techniques, etc.)• Always check your answers by substituting back into
the original equation! WHY????

Example Real life 5
• Suppose the population density in the Wichita, Kansas, area is related to the distance from the center of the city.
• This is modeled by
where D is the population density (in people per square mile) and x is the distance (in miles) from the center of the city.
• Find the distance(s) where the population density is 375 people per square mile.

INEQUALITIES• Recall that for inequalities, we often pretend we are
dealing with an equation, put the solutions on a number line, and then test a point from each region
• Same thing here!• 1st find the excluded values• Then solve the related equation• Put the solutions and excluded values on a number
line• Then test a point in each region to determine which
range(s) of values represent solutions!

inequality)
