Chapter 4: Rational, Power, and Root Functions 4.1 Rational Functions and Graphs 4.2 More on Graphs of Rational Functions 4.3 Rational Equations, Inequalities, Applications, and Models 4.4 Functions Defined by Powers and Roots 4.5 Equations, Inequalities, and Applications Involving Root Functions 4.3 Rational Equations, Inequalities, Applications, and Models Solving Rational Equations and Inequalities at least one variable in the denominator may be undefined for certain values where the denominator is 0 identify those values that make the equation (or inequality) undefined when solving rational equations, you generally multiply both sides by a common denominator when solving rational inequalities, you generally get 0 on one side, then rewrite the rational expression as a single fraction 4.3 Solving a Rational Equation Analytically Example Solve Analytic Solution Notice that the expression is undefined for 4.3 Solving a Rational Equation Analytically Graphical Solution Rewrite the equation as and define Y1 Using the x-intercept method shows that the zero of the function is 1. 4.3 Solving a Rational Inequality Analytically Example Solve the rational inequality Analytic Solution We can’t multiply both sides by 2x + 1 since it may be negative. Start by subtracting 1 from both sides. 4.3 Solving a Rational Inequality Analytically To determine the sign graph, solve the equations to get x = 1 and 4.3 Solving a Rational Inequality Analytically Complete the sign graph and determine the intervals where the quotient is negative. The quotient is zero or negative when x is in Can’t include it makes the denominator 0. 4.3 Solving a Rational Inequality Graphically Graphical Solution Let Y1 We use the graph to find the intervals where Y1 is below the x-axis, including the x-intercepts, where Y1 = 0. The solution set is 4.3 Solving a Rational Equation Exa
