Rationals and Radicals

Description

A Vertical Asymptote is defined by the restricted values of x where the function approaches but does not touch. For example, in y = 1/(x - 2), the function is not defined at x = 2, resulting in a vertical asymptote at that point. This term relates to rational expressions by identifying points of discontinuity, which are critical in understanding the behavior of rational functions.

Rationals and Radicals

Description

The Zero of a Rational Function is the value of the input variable for which the rational function equals zero. For example, in f(x) = (x - 1)/(x + 1), the zero occurs at x = 1. This term highlights the connection between the numerator of a rational function and its roots, which are essential for solving equations involving rational expressions.

Rationals and Radicals

Description

Division of rational expressions involves dividing one rational expression by another, resulting in a new rational expression. Examples include 1 / (2x2) ÷ 1 / (3x) = 3 / 2x and 2 / (x + 1) ÷ (3 / (x - 1)) = 2(x - 1) / 3(x + 1). This operation is crucial for manipulating and simplifying rational expressions in algebra.

Rationals and Radicals

Description

An extraneous solution is a false solution discarded during the solving process. For example, solving √(x + 1) = x - 5 gives x = 3 or x = 8, but x = 3 is extraneous as it does not satisfy the original equation. This concept highlights the need to verify solutions in equations involving radicals or rational expressions.

Factoring a radical expression involves extracting whole number factors. For example, √(36x2) = 6x or solving x = (-6 ± √(36 - 16)) / 4, which simplifies to -3 ± √5 / 2. Factoring radicals is a key step in simplifying expressions and solving equations with square roots.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this episode of Algebra Applications, students explore various scenarios that can be explained through the use of rational functions. Such disparate phenomena as submarines, photography, and the appearance of certain organisms can be explained through rational function models.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In spite of their massive size, submarines are precision instruments. A submarine must withstand large amounts of water pressure; otherwise, a serious breach can occur. Rational functions are used to study the relationship between water pressure and volume. Students graph rational functions to study the forces at work with a submarine.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: All living things take up a certain amount of space, and therefore have volume. They also have a certain amount of surface area. The ratio of surface area to volume, which is a rational function, reveals important information about the organism. Students look at different graphs of these functions for different organisms.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: After briefly reviewing the concept of inverse variation, this video explores Boyle??s law, a real world example of an inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume of a gas. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, it goes on to examine similarities and differences among rational functions and numbers. Finally, it takes a look at rational functions graphs and ends with a delightful example merging Euclidean and analytic geometry, thanks to the TI-Nspire technology. Concepts explored: functions, rational expressions, rational functions, asymptotes
