Rational Part I

The document explains the concepts of rational numbers, rational functions, rational equations, and rational inequalities. It defines rational numbers as expressions of the form a/b where b is not zero, and describes rational functions as quotients of polynomial functions. Additionally, it distinguishes between rational equations and inequalities, providing examples for each type.

What are Rational
Numbers?

Rational
numbers
are expressions that can be
expressed in the form where a & b
are integers, but b must not be
equal to zero and it can be also
written in decimal form.
What is a Rational
Function?
When the two polynomial
functions are expressed as a
quotient (fraction form), this is
called Rational Function. Given
the two functions g & h, the
function is defined by
f(x) =
Examples:
1. f(x) =

2. f(x) = +

3. f(x) =
4x-2
What is a Rational
Equation?

A Rational
Equation is an equation
indicating that two
expressions, with at least one
term written as a fraction, are
equal.
Examples:
1. =

2. =

3. =
What is a Rational
Inequality?

A Rational
Inequality is an
equation indicating that two
expressions, with at least
one term written as a
fraction, are not equal.
Examples:
1. >

2. ≤

3. ≥3-x
What is the difference of the three
