Outcomes

In this lesson you will learn

  • to solve equations containing rational expressions
  • how to determine extraneous roots

By the end of this section students will be able to:

  • describe the relationship between arithmetic operations and operations on rational algebraic expressions and equations
  • determine the equations of polynomial and rational functions
  • demonstrate an understanding for slope functions and their connection to differentiation
  • analyze relations, functions, and their graphs
  • use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions
  • demonstrate an understanding for asymptotic behaviour
  • model real-world phenomena using polynomial functions and rational functions
