Rational Expressions & Equations

Overview

After learning how to simplify rational expressions and determining excluded values, the students will perform the 4 basic operations on rational, mixed, and complex expressions. Students will learn to solve rational equations, including practical work-rate and motion problems. The final section involves graphing rational functions, reviews asymptotes, and introduces hyperbolas.
