Study Notes
Rational Algebraic Expressions
- Formed as a fraction of two polynomials (n/d).
- Must have a non-zero denominator to be valid.
Rational Algebraic Equations
- Contain one or more rational expressions.
- Represent an equality involving rational expressions.
Simplification of Rational Expressions
- Example: 16p² / 28p simplifies to 4p / 7.
- Example: 15n / 30n³ simplifies to 1 / 2n².
- Example: Simplifying (x + 6) / (x² + 5x - 6) results in 1 / (x - 1).
- Example: (2r - 4) / (r - 2) simplifies to 2.
Finding Least Common Denominator (LCD)
- LCD of 2/x + 1/2 is 2x.
- LCD of 3x and 2x is 6x.
- LCD of 2x and 2x is 4x.
Characteristics of Rational Expressions
- Both the numerator and denominator must be polynomials.
- They are expressed as a ratio of two polynomial functions.
Simple Algebraic Terms
- x + 10 represents the sum of a number and 10.
- x + 6 indicates six more than a number.
- x + 17 = 3 describes adding 17 to a number resulting in 3.
- x/9 denotes the quotient of a number and 9.
- x/14 signifies one-half of a number.
- 25x is the representation of twenty-five times a number.
- x/16 shows the ratio of a number to 16.
- 3 - x = 10 conveys that three less a number equals ten.
- x + 26 indicates twenty-six added to a number.
- 7 - x represents seven less a number.
